About This Home
If you’re looking for a property you can transform and make your own, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! Calling all investors and handymen—this property is full of possibilities and ready for your vision. Priced to sell, it’s the perfect project for your next investment or renovation. Co The adjacent property, which was formerly the main house, is also available for purchase. This structure originally served as the garage for that home but was legally subdivided and now has its own address and parcel number. Each property can be purchased separately or together, offering even more possibilities for redevelopment, rental income, or a larger investment project.
