About This Home

Prime investment opportunity in a high-demand location just 0.3 miles from Walmart and Hwy 111! This has been a 2-bedroom, 1-bath but is now gutted and ready for your vision. It is perfectly positioned for strong rental potential or future expansion. The property features two water meters—one currently conected and a second ready to be reconnected—offering the option to add another home or rental unit. Exterior is constructed with durable concrete block walls with vinyl siding. Included is a large outbuilding with electricity—ideal for storage, workshop, or added income potential. A rare find with flexibility and upside!
