About This Home
Calling all investors and DIY enthusiasts! Nestled on a quiet curve within a desirable garden home community, this property requires a total renovation but offers incredible architectural bones and a fantastic layout. The expansive 23.2' x 12.7' living room features soaring ceilings that peak at 14.5 feet providing an excellent foundation for a grand, open-concept design. Adding to the home's unique character, a spiral staircase originally lead to a versatile multi-purpose room with attic access, while one of the secondary bedrooms boasts a built-in ladder leading to a fun loft area that can be used for extra storage. The generous floor plan also includes a spacious 17.4' x 12.7' master bedroom ready to be gutted and transformed into your dream retreat. Outside, you can bring your landscaping ideas to life with a side patio and a larger-than-normal rear yard that serves as a complete blank canvas for an outdoor oasis. The property has a 16' x 5.5' detached building—think workshop or tool storage during your rehab project—and a convenient double carport for covered parking. With its quirky charm and exceptional footprint, this diamond in the rough is a rare find with massive upside. Bring your contractor and your imagination to bring this standout property back to life!
