About this home

Discover an incredible opportunity in this classic rambler with unlimited potential! Situated on a corner lot with nice curb appeal, this home is "mechanically sound" and ready for its next chapter. It features several big-ticket updates already completed, including newer windows, recently updated bathrooms, brand-new water heater, and updated plumbing, providing you with peace of mind from day one. Inside, the main level is bright and inviting, while the partially finished basement presents a massive opportunity for instant equity. With a few cosmetic updates, you can easily transform the lower level into a spacious family room, and even add a fourth bedroom to maximize the home’s value. Outside features a large deck and firepit within a fully fenced backyard, making it an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing. While the home needs a little TLC to reach its full aesthetic potential, its sound structure makes it a standout choice for buyers looking to build equity quickly.

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.
