About This Home

HUGE VALUE ADD OPPORTUNITY! There is an unfinished basement the size of 1,163 square ft that could be completed making this home a total of 3,486 square ft upon completion of the basement. Opportunity awaits in this spacious 2,323 sq. ft. home in desirable Belmont! Conveniently located just minutes from the highway and adjacent to brand-new medical offices and the YMCA, this property offers excellent accessibility and long-term potential. The main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, plus an office located in the basement that is currently being used by the tenant as a bedroom, providing additional flexible living space. The home offers a functional layout and solid bones but is in need of cosmetic updates throughout, making it an excellent opportunity for investors, renovators, or buyers looking to add value. Major improvements include a new roof installed in 2025. The HVAC system was installed in 2011 and is reported to be operating well. Investors are welcome—the current tenant would like to remain in the home and is paying $1,900 per month on a month-to-month lease, offering immediate rental income potential. Please note: The property is tenant occupied. All showings must be scheduled in advance and confirmed prior to access. Home is being sold as-is.
