Description

Tucked away at the end of a quiet road, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom manufactured home offers a unique chance to create your dream property. In addition to the bedrooms, there’s a extra room with closet that could serve as an office, playroom, or flex space to fit your needs. The home has been vacant for about a year and is in need of some TLC, making it an ideal project for investors, flippers, or anyone looking to put in sweat equity. Sitting on a spacious .75-acre lot, the property provides extra storage building, privacy, and endless potential for landscaping, gardening, or simply enjoying the secluded setting. With some vision and hard work, this home could be transformed into a cozy retreat!

I’m not from here and moved for a job. You just get trapped here. The job market is awful, housing is terrible, and it’s a very conservative area."
