Fixer Upper...Handy Man Special...Built in Equity!! $275,000 in Morgan Chapel Village!! The home sits on a 1+ acre wooded lot, is very private, with a circular driveway. Home is very large boasting almost 1800 SQFT on the Main Floor and over 1400 on the Lower Level/ Walk-Out Basement!! Home needs a lot of work and will NOT qualify for "normal financing" (No VA, No FHA, No USDA). 3 BR, 2 1/2 Baths on the Main Level with Parquet and wood Flooring. 3 Large Rooms Downstairs, Multiple Closets, Storage Rooms, and a 1/2 Bath Downstairs. Multiple Decks (Appear to be unsafe). The Main floor features a large kitchen, Separate Dining Room, and a Sunroom / Family Room. 2 Car Attached Garage. Look at the photos - I am not going to sugar coat it - the ceiling/roof has been leaking; the tiles in the basement are cracked in areas; there was a leak in the half bath downstairs; one of the sliding doors is shattered; the HVAC does not work. But in a neighborhood where the houses sell for $500k, even if you put $200k in it, you would have equity!! Looking for a Cash Buyer / investor who is not afraid of the work!! (Sold AS IS) This is truly a diamond in the rough!!
