Remodeler's Dream - Finish What's Already Started! Don't miss this rare opportunity to step into a partially renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home in Lansing, IL and cross the finish line on a project that's already well underway. At 1,457 sq ft, this 1964-built single-family home sits on a quiet residential street and is being sold strictly as-is by a motivated seller ready for a fast closing. The seller has already invested in substantial updates - new interior doors and casings, freshly painted ceilings, walls, and trim, refurbished kitchen cabinets, remodeled closets with new doors and shelving, updated bathrooms and laundry, and tamper-resistant outlets throughout. Best of all, materials for the remaining work are already purchased and on-site, including LVP flooring for the main living areas, kitchen, and laundry/bath, a gas range, over-range microwave, kitchen sink and faucet, travertine backsplash, ceiling fans, and all misc. hardware and fixtures needed for installation. The remaining scope is straightforward: install the LVP flooring, hang the barn door and bi-fold doors, complete the kitchen (backsplash, appliances, cabinet doors), add baseboards, carpet the bedrooms, and repair one broken attic rafter. No other major known mechanical, foundation, or system issues. Cash offers and quick close only. Bring your contractor and a vision - the hard work has been done for you. This property is perfect for the savvy investor or hands-on buyer looking for a classic fix-and-flip opportunity - most of the heavy lifting is already done, so your timeline to resale is shorter than you think. Buyers with a talent for TLC projects will immediately recognize the value here - cosmetic finishes are all that stand between you and a fully updated, move-in-ready home. Whether you're building sweat equity in your next primary residence or adding a turnkey rental to your portfolio, this property offers an exceptional return on a modest investment of time and skill.
