***ATTENTION INVESTORS - INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY AWAITS***
This estate sale property offers tremendous potential for savvy investors seeking a diamond in the rough. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this spacious split-level home is ready for your creative vision.
The home boasts three floors: the main level includes hardwood floors that are in good shape, and the eat-in kitchen features black and white ceramic tiles, updated cabinets, and granite counters. The upper level has hardwood floors with some staining, a dated hall bath, and a master bath that also shows signs of age. The rooms are generously sized. On the lower level, you'll find a dry walled family room (not paneled), a wood-burning fireplace, a half bath in need of renovation, and a large utility room. The washer and dryer with pedestals are newer, the hot water heater was installed in 2009, and the furnace was replaced in 2019. The roof is in good condition, but its age is unknown. A standout feature of the property is the large, private backyard—over a quarter of an acre—with a stone retaining wall, situated on a no-outlet street. The location is excellent, close to Route 97, the ICC, Connecticut Avenue, Olney, and major commuter routes.
***PROPERTY SOLD AS-IS. ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY (FIXED OR UNFIXED) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOME REMAINS WITH THE PROPERTY, AND REMOVAL OF ALL SUCH PERSONAL PROPERTY WILL BE AT BUYER'S EXPENSE.*
