Homes for sale
This home's estimate is 53.1% higher than the average sale price ($521K) of 6 comparable homes.
Project in need of completion - Owner had 2nd story put on home that's interior is still in need of finishing. That will include a master bath whose fixtures are already on site. Home is in need of someone looking for a lake community and interested in building equity. Property goes all the way thru to Lake Ridge next to the lake - providing 100 ft of frontage on both streets. Great lake views available if willing to do the work. Many homes in area have already done major improvements and expansion, so the neighborhood will support the investment.
