About this House

Opportunity is knocking with this 2 bed, 2 bath two story home sitting on a spacious lot with a large privacy fenced backyard all just minutes from local baseball fields and the park.

Priced at just $39,900, this property offers strong potential for investors or buyers looking to build equity. Inside, you’ll find a surprisingly spacious layout featuring original woodwork, custom wood ceilings, and exposed beams that give the home a unique character you don’t see every day.

The main level offers open living space and a functional kitchen layout, while the upper level provides additional bedrooms and bathroom space with room to reimagine.

This home does need work and is being sold as is, but the location combined with its character makes it a great candidate for a flip, rental, or affordable primary residence.

Large backyard, convenient location near parks and recreation, and tons of upside opportunities like this don’t last long at this price.
