Description

You know those houses you see on TV that have been untouched since the 70s? Well, you're looking at one! This incredible 1-acre property is a time capsule, lovingly preserved since 1977. Every corner tells a story... a story of shag carpets, avocado-colored appliances, and a distinct lack of USB ports. - SOLD AS IS...

Step inside and discover a spacious 2,076 square feet of pure potential. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, you'll have plenty of space to get creative. Whether you’re an investor with a vision, a handyman with a toolbelt, or a brave soul looking for a live-in flip, this home is ready for its grand debut. The sellers have kindly left all the original finishes, so you won't have to spend a minute ripping out anything new. You'll be a hero for rescuing this home and bringing it into the 21st century!

The backyard is a private paradise with a variety of mature fruit trees, offering a perfect escape from the hard work inside. You’ll be able to enjoy fresh fruit while you take a break from contemplating that kitchen renovation. You have plenty of space to build a pool, ADU, Shop or whatever your heart and wallet desire. Located in a great neighborhood, this is more than just a house; it's an opportunity to create your dream home from the ground up.

This property needs some TLC and a serious makeover. If you've been searching for a home with “good bones” and are ready to put in some sweat equity, this is the one. Come see it, fall in love with the potential, and get ready to make this home your masterpiece.

    "Close to the freeway easy access to hwy 140 into Merced. Downtown Atwater is 10 min away. Merced downtown is 15-20 min. "
  • Trulia User
    "nice blocks , well kept neighborhood. my friend works there , lawn service. I really want to live there. they have 3 pools and it's gated & safe. "
  • Trulia User
    "I see people using the bus stop down the street where I live. Easy access. My neighbors mind there own business, yards are clean, inside castle garden it feels safe to walk, great areas for the kids to play. There’s a community pool and it has a fence with a lock so the kids can’t get in unless they have supervision."
  • Jeff
    "Not to bad I drive to Modesto daily, I drive early enough that the traffic is non existent, make sure you have an economical car"
  • Hilaryduff
    "People walk their dogs and just leave their poop so if you don’t like picking up your dogs poop then this is a perfect place for you. No one says anything. Most people won’t let you pet their dog either. Most dogs are for protecting so that’s why they won’t pet them. "
  • Amyodessa
    "I commute 40 miles. The great thing abbot my commute is the freeway access. I jump right on the freeway and I'm on my way."
  • Dreamcatcher1209429
    "I don’t drive but it’s way better the the Bay Area or Fresno or Modesto or even Turlock. 99 is scary. There’s a lot of homeless people here now and A LOT of druggies/ mentally ill. When I first moved here they were not aloud to live on the streets and it was WAY nicer. Only person you saw on the side walk was a nice man with a smile sign. Now you have to hide everything and make sure you’ve locked everything up super good can’t open your blinds or leave your mail longer then an hour or leave anything visible in your car. It’s better then a big city but the police won’t do anything unless they feel like it. "
  • Wyvonne B.
    "I live in a senior community. Where everyone is nice & respectful to each other. We help each other here!!! It is Castlewood Sr Community on Buhach"

    "Great place to live! There aren’t many places like Atwater that have the same sense of community and love. Like anywhere else there are bad areas and influences we would rather not have around. However the pros always outweigh the cons! In looking for a place to call home there is no where else in California I would rather see myself raising my family then in Atwater California."
  • Thestraycat
    "I don’t drive but the bus is down the street picks up about every hour only one way though you can walk to the transpo it’s about a mile and a half away. That can get you to Merced Turlock and other places in Atwater "
  • Dreamcatcher1209429
