About this home

Possibly Over-Priced:The estimated price is 11% below the list price. We found 3 Cons,7 Pros. Rank: price - $549.0K(1th), sqft - 2596(51th), beds - 5(60th), baths - 3(50th).

Contractor and Flippers special located on a serene cut-de-sac. This property fits the "Golden Rule of Real Estate" - find the most challenging property in a wonderful area. This home is the epitome of "Great Bones!" A once stunning two story and five bedroom/ three bath home home just shy of 2,600 square feet had its former glory decimated by interior water damage. The water damage was entirely remediated and the studs are in place to finish the interior rebuilding. Your tools coupled with your imagination will bring this property back to its prior glory. Beautiful exterior grounds are complete with fruit trees and large pool that needs some TLC. Great opportunity that won't last long at this price.

Condition Rating
Poor
This property is a 'contractor and flippers special' that has been gutted to the studs due to prior water damage. The images clearly show an unfinished interior with no functional kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, light fixtures, or appliances. While the listing states the water damage was remediated and the 'bones' are good, it requires a complete interior rebuild, including all major systems and finishes. The property is currently unlivable and requires substantial rehabilitation, fitting the criteria for a 'poor' condition rather than a 'tear-down' as the structure is deemed sound.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10454, living area = 2596.
Great Schools: High School: Martin Luther King Jr. High School (9/10).
Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'Contractor and Flippers special' and a 'Great opportunity' at its current price, suggesting significant upside potential after renovation.
Desirable Location: Situated on a 'serene cul-de-sac' in a 'wonderful area,' offering a quiet and appealing neighborhood setting.
Substantial Size: A spacious two-story home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, spanning nearly 2,600 square feet, providing ample living space.
Exterior Amenities: Features 'beautiful exterior grounds' complete with fruit trees and a large pool, adding significant value and appeal once restored.
Structural Foundation: Described as having 'Great Bones!' with prior water damage 'entirely remediated' and studs in place, offering a solid base for interior reconstruction.

Cons

Extensive Interior Renovation Required: The property was 'decimated by interior water damage' and currently has only 'studs in place,' necessitating a complete interior rebuild.
Pool Condition: The 'large pool that needs some TLC' indicates additional costs and effort for repair and maintenance beyond the interior work.
Not Move-in Ready: Due to the extensive interior damage and ongoing rebuilding, the property is not habitable and requires significant time and financial investment before occupancy.
