More Insights
Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1960, this property is explicitly listed as having an 'unfinished remodel' and is sold 'as-is,' requiring the buyer to complete significant work. While it benefits from a new roof, rewired electrical, new paint, and new flooring, the kitchen is extremely basic and incomplete, lacking proper cabinetry and modern appliances. The bathroom features dated fixtures despite cosmetic updates. The presence of an 'unpermitted room' also indicates potential issues. The property is not move-in ready and requires substantial rehabilitation to be a fully functional and comfortable home.

Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 53000, living area = 680.
Expansive Lot & Development Potential: The property boasts a large, flat 53,000 sqft (1.21 acre) lot, offering tremendous potential for building a ranch, adding an ADU, expanding the existing structure, or utilizing it for commercial purposes like semi-truck or RV storage.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Key updates have been completed, including a new electric meter, rewired electrical system, new paint, new flooring, and a new roof, which reduces immediate capital expenditure on these critical components.
Established Utilities On-Site: The property benefits from existing water, electricity, gas, and a septic tank, which significantly reduces the cost and complexity of future development or expansion.
Significant Price Reduction: The current list price of $135,000 represents a substantial reduction from the original $229,000, offering a potentially attractive entry point for a value-add investor or owner-builder.
Versatile Use Case: The property's large, flat lot and existing utilities make it suitable for a wide range of uses, from a small ranch to a base for construction materials or vehicle storage, appealing to diverse buyer profiles.
Cons
Unfinished Remodel & As-Is Sale: The property is sold 'as-is' with an unfinished remodel, requiring the buyer to assume significant financial and labor investment to complete the project.
Unpermitted Room: The presence of an 'unpermitted room' poses a significant legal and financial risk, potentially requiring costly remediation, demolition, or a complex permitting process.
Small Existing Structure: The current 680 sqft house is very small, limiting immediate residential functionality and necessitating substantial expansion or a complete rebuild for most family or modern living needs.
