Who believes in Second Chances? The Buyers financing fell through making this property available again! This is A terrific and affordable find in Howard County! A bit rare these days but the original builder/owner is the seller! The original lot was a full acre where the family built two homes and have lived out some of the best years of their lives. Imagine A home so special, it has been kept in the family since it was built. This lovely 2 Bedroom, 1 bathroom home sits on a 1/2 acre lot and is priced perfectly to allow for your updates. This custom built home is a great starter home or ideal for downsizing. The backyard is set up for gardening or relaxing in the shade. Offering Great Schools, a short drive to shopping and a peaceful park like setting makes this a highly sought after home. HOWEVER the big story here is :: This home shares a driveway with 8557 Davis Road which is CURRENTLY listed for sale as well by the same family. There is no guarantee that one house will not sell faster then the other BUT if you ACT NOW you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase both homes and share the property with your family.
