Fixer upper⦠great for 1031 purchaseYour choices always seem to be, A) Pay way too much for a Renovated Home, all done in metal and gray, with the warm personality of a factory, or B) Keep paying your landlords mortgage. One other option is to call the Smith brothers , not your average realtors. Once upon a time, people would buy a "Fixer-upper" and live there, while people updated, or renovated or added-onto until they had their dream house. And, increase its value, sometimes doubling it. This was known as "Sweat Equity"; i.e. turning their own labor and time into money. Well, here's your chance to do the same. This is a solid, well built, a bit dated but Livable home, a place to live while building equity, through well chosen improvements. With the original homes existing strong bones and classic design, all that is needed is a hands-on pioneer, or two, to make the home a showplace. Home has 1700+ sf above ground, and a full footprint basement. Rooms in the house are of a good size in a functional layout & with all three levels available, the home can be improved to include a basement unit (eitherfully separate, or just for in-laws or Air BnB), with patience, persistance and permits, of course! On the South side of D St, the home appears to fall into Maury catchment, and with a large back yard, (with room for a garden, a patio, or a playground could make this attractive for some buyers.) A Nice sized Home, with a nice sized yard, nice sized rooms, and a nice price, make this one a nice change from poorly done, or overdone renovations
