About this home

Too good to be true! Great price point to get into the Southdowns area. List price is almost land value, but this little home can be used for a rental or owner occupied cottage. Open floorplan, beaded board ceilings, spacious rooms with breakfast bar. Fenced rear yard with storage area and carport park. Also, a good investment for a tear down and new construction site. Home still has a few things to be done to it, but a cutie!

Its a great price point to get into Southdowns. The home was remodeled awhile ago for the owner when he lived there. Beaded board ceilings, wood lament floors, tin roof, rear deck. Home has been renting for 1150.00 for years. Price listed is land value for the lot only, but the little house is perfect for a student or homeowner that maybe want to add on or bulldoze at a later date. Could use some updating all being rentals.
