About this home
Opportunity to build equity and finish a home to your own style. This property is currently in the process of a main floor remodel and has been partially gutted, creating a blank canvas for the next owner to complete. The home offers a functional layout with a front porch featuring wall-to-wall windows, an open living and dining area, a main floor bedroom with a connected ½ bath, kitchen space, main floor laundry, and access to the attached garage. The upper level includes two additional bedrooms, a bonus room that could serve as an office or flex space, and a full bathroom. The basement features tall ceilings and open areas with potential for storage or future finishing. Previous updates include the roof, windows, and mechanical systems. With the renovation already started, this property presents an opportunity for buyers looking to add personal touches, build equity, or explore renovation potential.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
