8670 Fairground Rd, Bel Alton — a great opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and add value on a spacious 1.29-acre lot in a peaceful rural setting. This one-level home offers approximately 1,800 sq ft of living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, along with a partially unfinished basement that provides additional storage or future potential. The layout offers a solid foundation for updates and customization, making it ideal for investors, renovators, or owner-occupants ready to create their own vision. Several major systems have been updated over time, including a newer HVAC air handler (manufactured 11/2019), a water bladder/pressure tank manufactured 11/2023, a newer drilled well, and a newer septic system. While this is an estate sale and sold as-is, these improvements offer a strong starting point for the next owner. The 1.29-acre setting provides ample space for outdoor living, gardening, or future enhancements. With the right updates, this property has the potential to be something truly special.
