Key Facts
Description
Rare investor opportunity on a .33-acre corner property spanning 2.5 lots (Lots 9, 10 & 11). Property has been pre-approved for a lot line adjustment allowing potential separation into two developable lots with minimal remaining steps. Ideal for builders, flippers, or investors seeking infill potential. Renovate the existing farmhouse and hold, or explore development options. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath home features a primary bedroom on the main level and a covered front porch. Two outbuildings provide ample storage, workshop space, or parking flexibility. Large lot offers room to expand, add an ADU, or build new (buyer to verify). Convenient location near shopping, dining, schools, and parks. Rare chance to secure a value-add property with entitlement progress already underway.
