Description

SHES NOT PERFECT BUT SHES GOT POTENTIAL! If youre looking for perfectly polished, keep scrolling. But if youve got vision, a little elbow grease, and an eye for opportunity, this Ranch might just be calling your name! First up: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Nestled in a beautifully mature neighborhood near Guilford High School and just off Spring Creek Road, this home already has something you cant renovate: A GREAT SPOT! And wait until you see the HUGE kitchen. Seriously, this is where everybodys going to hang out. Theres room for a full dining table AND a cozy sitting area, plus a wood-burning retro fireplace, bay window and stainless steel appliances. Coffee by the fire? Yes, please. The Living Room flows into the Formal Dining Room and straight out to the deck and private fenced backyard where Mother Nature has already started the snack bar with red blackberries, wild strawberries and grapes, framed by endless Hostas and Ferns! The Primary Bedroom says, Go ahead, bring the king-size bed, and includes its own private bath. Downstairs, the unfinished basement is practically begging for an upgrade. Bonus: the pool table, ping-pong table and exercise station stay. Game room, anyone? Now about that elephant, or perhaps kitty in the room... This house has been well-loved by cats, and the carpet has seen better days. Plan on replacing it. The central air is also currently not working, and the needed part is no longer available, so window A/C units are being used. Theres deferred maintenance here, and this house isnt pretending otherwise. BUT there are some nice big-ticket updates already in place: 1st Floor Laundry, Updated Electrical panel:2018. New Siding:2019. Generac generator:2021. Rented solar panels:2025. So yes, she needs some TLC. A little lipstick? Nope. More like a mini makeover. But with the right buyer, some sweat equity and a fresh vision, theres plenty of potential waiting to be uncovered. Because remember: you can replace carpet, update finishes and fix an A/Cbut you cant renovate LOCATION. The seller is looking for a quick sale with a 60-day rent-back, so bring your ideas, bring your offer, and lets see if we can make this a WIN-WIN for everyone! Some digital tidying helped minimize moving and packing items.
