Property Description

Bring your contractor & your imagination to this high-potential fixer! Small older cottage needing a lot of TLC on a beautiful 6200-sf lot with mature trees in one of the nicest established neighborhoods in Lemon Grove. Big wrap-around deck with rooftop-treetop views. Dress up this tiny house as a darling mini-home, or expand it by adding a bedroom wing and/or turning the downstairs bedroom into a granny flat. Carport could morph into a garage plus RV space. Needs new everything, but what an opportunity! Excellent rehab-development opportunity. Home was well cared for over many decades by a single owner-occupant, who made some probably unpermitted alterations and, in his later years, let some deferred maintenance accumulate. Since he passed away 5 years ago, the home has been untended and poorly treated by occasional unauthorized occupants. Now it needs to be restored, repaired & updated. Not a small task, but a fun project and great profit potential. Sold absolutely as is. A great value at $161k. Home next door on smaller lot was bought for $200k, rehabbed, & sold for $308k in 6 days. Our lower price here reflects this home's more challenging condition & its probable need for added floorspace to make it competitive as a family-size SFR in the eyes of end-buyers. Main level with front entry & deck is above lower level with bedroom & carport access. Some nice features--classic stone retaining wall along driveway, tall palms & other trees, enclosed back & side yard. Other Fees: 0 Sewer: Sewer Connected Topography: LL,GSL
