About This Home

Rare opportunity on a highly visible, super busy corner lot! This 1-acre cleared property features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch-style home with an attic previously used as additional bedrooms. The home needs TLC and offers great potential as a fixer-upper or your future dream home . The property includes a versatile shop/building with prior conditional use permits, offering endless possibilities for business or mixed use. Previously utilized as a used classic car lot, the space includes office area, one bathroom, and split-system heating and air. Ideal for a real estate office, antique shop, contractor’s office, small grocery, or similar venture. Additional features include three entrances (two from Bethel Rd and one from Seaford Rd), excellent visibility, nighttime property and building lighting, a two-car garage, and a 3-car metal awning perfect for protecting vehicles. A large shed for lawn equipment sits in the expansive fenced rear yard, along with a generous parking area suitable for vehicles, farm equipment, or a well rig. Despite its prime location, the property offers a quiet, tranquil setting across from a local church. Buyer to note the property will require a new septic system; an expired soil evaluation and permit are on file and may be reissued. Bring your vision—this unique property offers exceptional potential for residential, business, or combined use.
