The roof leaks, the floor groans, and the draft has main-character energy, but this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home is VERY “open concept. ” By that, we mean the outside has decided to come inside, courtesy of a few truly committed broken windows. Ever dreamed of owning a house that comes exactly as it is, no extras, no frills, no surprises beyond the obvious ones? How about a foundation that's also exploring distance in the relationship? Congratulations. This property offers both. 2871 Barbara Drive is not here to catfish you. She is a true fixer. There is no “just needs a little TLC” happening. She needs commitment, tools, a budget, and possibly a prayer circle. But for the brave, the handy, and the visionary, this is a rare opportunity to turn a disaster into a “you won't believe the before pictures” success story. Inside, you'll find floors with strong opinions, walls that have definitely seen things, and spaces begging to be reimagined from the studs up. The kitchen exists, the bedrooms are technically bedrooms, and the half bath is doing its best. The real star is the large, deep backyard—shockingly good compared to the house. There's room for gardens, dogs, chickens, fire pits, or simply a quiet spot to stand and question your life choices after closing. Perfect for investors, seasoned DIYers, and anyone who's ever said “oh, I can fix that” out loud and meant it. Priced for what it is and what it could be, not what it wishes it were on Instagram. Bring boots. And imagination. And maybe your contractor.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
