This is a rare chance to complete a renovation with much of the preliminary work in the rearview. This 1,872 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on approximately 2.52 private acres in the San Benancio corridor, and the hardest part is already done: the interior has been gutted, plans are stamped and approved by Monterey County, and the building permit is ready to pull. Bring your vision and your contractor and get to work! In addition, a new septic system and shared well system add real value and remove guesswork. Built in 1972 on a peaceful, oak studded setting, this is an ideal project for investors, owner-builders, or contractors looking to create a custom home in one of Salinas's most desirable rural pockets. .. minutes from town, with room to breathe. Please note: given its current condition, the property will not qualify for traditional financing. .. cash buyers and non conventional financing only.
