About this home

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING I'm excited to share a unique opportunity for cash buyers and seasoned investors: a fixer-upper with incredible potential located in a desirable, established Ontario neighborhood. Just a 3 minute drive from the new Ontario Sports Empire currently under development by the City of Ontario, this distressed single-family home is being offered in "as-is" condition, requiring a no-frills transaction. While it needs significant work, its "good bones" provide a solid foundation for a remarkable transformation. Deferred maintenance is evident throughout, including missing cabinet doors, heater works but a/c does not, damaged flooring, likely original plumbing, holes in walls, termite damage and a leaky roof. The property also has a smoke odor, so plan for carpet removal and extensive cleaning. The backyard features a pool that awaits revitalization. Windows were replaced about 15 years ago. This is a blank canvas ready for your vision and expertise. Imagine turning this property into a contemporary sanctuary with sleek finishes, open-concept living spaces, smart-home upgrades, a chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, engineered wood flooring, spa-like bathrooms, and stunning curb appeal. Please note: * No wholesalers, assignments, or blind offers will be accepted, this is for principal cash buyers only. Property is not financeable, though hard money loans may be an option. * The seller will not make any repairs or offer credits. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and unlock the potential of this diamond in the rough, this could be the flip you've been waiting for. I can't wait to hear your vision for this project.
