Listed significantly below market value (approximately $300k) to reflect immediate needs such as siding repair or replacement, bathroom repairs and more. This property will not qualify for conventional financing. Buyers must be prepared for cash purchase, hard money loan, or renovation loan. Located in Howard County on 5+ acres, with top rated schools, this home is waiting to be restored to its original glory! The home boasts a California-style center patio, accessible via multiple sliding glass doors, perfect for a fountain, Koi pond, or a two-tiered deck, with views of the wooded lot. Abundant natural light fills the home, featuring 6 skylights, angular windows flanking the living room fireplace, and 9 main-level sliding doors for seamless outdoor access. Dozens of dead trees were removed around the perimeter of the home to create more natural light into the home. A versatile and stunning addition with four sliders and arched windows leading to the center patio can serve as a library, family room, or recreation room. It also includes a fireplace and two large windows. The owner's suite offers direct access to a screened-in area overlooking the rear wooded yard. The owner's bathroom requires imagination and restoration. Two additional spacious bedrooms are on the main level. One includes a wood-burning fireplace, a large bump-out window, and access to the center patio. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the home and connects to the screened-in area adjoining the owner's bedroom. The basement features an in-law suite with a full kitchen, a family room with stone flooring, and a side entry door. A fourth bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom are also on this level, with a screened-in porch accessible from the bedroom and family room. Ducts were professionally cleaned, the newer HVAC system was recently serviced, and the well pump and storage tank are also newer. Nearby comparable homes have recently sold in the mid-$800s, presenting a significant value proposition for the right buyer.
