Set on a generous lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main residence is a true heavy fixer, taken down to the studs and ready for a complete transformation. The existing footprint offers a blank canvas to reimagine the space with modern design, optimized layout, and elevated finishes. A detached garage adds flexibility for potential ADU conversion, workspace, or additional income-producing possibilities (buyer to verify).This is a project for those with the expertise and vision to bring it to life, ideal for a full renovation or redevelopment. Please note: due to the current condition of the property, it will not qualify for conventional financing and is best suited for cash buyers or alternative financing options. Opportunities like this where location meets limitless upside are increasingly rare. Bring your contractor, your architect, and your imagination.
