I call this house a handy man's special. Or, for a person of vision this could be the perfect opportunity to purchase 1.36 acres in one of the most desirable areas this state has to offer. This property is big enough for a buyer to build a substantial dwelling and have an income generating rental property next door. Houses come and go, but deeds are forever. The main value in this property is the land itself. Located minutes from downtown Irondale and easily accessible to I-20. This property offers the best of both worlds. Someone once told me that the value of all properties are dependant on three things; location, location and location. And this property offers the savy buyer a chance to be part of a community with unlimited growth potential. According to the tax records, this property has experience an uptick in value over the last five years. So the time is right to make an investment in the future of this area.
