Opportunity awaits in the highly sought-after Mt. Zion School District! Situated on nearly a half-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers tremendous potential for investors, flippers, or buyers looking to build sweat equity. A new roof was installed in 2024, providing a solid start for future improvements. Much of the home features original hardwood flooring that could be beautifully restored to its former charm. The spacious screened-in porch offers a great place to relax and enjoy the large backyard setting. Home is being sold as-is and will require updates and repairs, but the location, lot size, and major improvements make this a property worth considering.
