* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1967, the home is largely in original or dated condition. The kitchen features older white appliances, electric coil burners, and tiled countertops with wide grout lines. Bathrooms show dated vanities, medicine cabinets, and fixtures. The presence of popcorn ceilings, older carpeting, and the listing's 'No FHA' disclaimer suggest the property requires cosmetic updates and potentially minor repairs to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8720, living area = 1389.
Situated in a highly desirable NE Merced neighborhood, the property offers excellent proximity to Rahilly Park, local bike paths, and Chenoweth Elementary School.
The floor plan features two separate living areas, providing rare functional flexibility for a home of this size, ideal for multi-generational living or entertaining.
The explicit exclusion of FHA financing restricts the potential buyer pool, requiring conventional loans or cash offers which may limit market competition.
The property requires 'freshening up' and likely reflects its 1967 vintage, indicating a need for immediate capital investment in repairs or aesthetic upgrades.
FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY in a WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features 2 separate living areas in one of the most desirable areas in NE Merced. With some freshening up this will be the perfect home for someone. It's close to the bike path, Rahilly Park and Chenoweth Elementary. I'm sorry, NO FHA on this one.
