Great opportunity for handyman or investment property. Price reflects some updates needed although some have been done in the past few years, including, but not limited to, new heating system 2013, updates in bathroom 2015, and the stove is approximately a year and a half old. There are hardwood floors under the carpet in LR/DR area that have been covered for a few decades. (See photos) The carport had previously been converted to a large screened porch, and there is also a nice fenced yard great for family gatherings, BBQs, etc with a storage shed. Public records state 3 BRS but one does not have a closet, could be added to make it a true 3 BR home or use one for office, etc. This home is offered as-is, seller will make no repairs, but residence is in livable condition. If you check the recent comps you will see that this home is priced well below market value to reflect any updates that still may be needed. Conventional, Cash offers only. Inspections will be for informational purposes only. Very convenient location, close to major routes, shopping, restaurants, hospital, downtown Dover, etc. Make your appointment today, easy to show!

What a great opportunity to own a home! This Ranch home screams potential! Original hardwood floors are hidden behind the carpeted floors. Remodeled bathroom in 2015, newly installed side entry stoop (2015) and a new heating system was installed 3 years ago. The original carport was converted to a screened in porch, providing lots of additional space for gathering and entertainment. Back yard includes a shed. With a little TLC, this home will look like new. The owners took great pride in their fenced in yard, and in a few short weeks the grass will be a gleaming green, waiting for your final touches. Seller's assistance of $1700. Conveniently located near major highways, restaurants, and shopping. Schedule a tour today! Property sold "AS-IS". .. .Cash, Conventional or 203k Loan only.
