Attention renovation-minded buyers and investors, this Charles County 3BR, 1.5FB Cape Cod on a . 48-acre corner lot is ready for its next chapter. With your renovation efforts, it could potentially become a short or long term rental property, a flip or a home to make your own. The home features propane central forced-air heat and central a/c air, a deep well, and approximately 1,656 sq ft above grade finished space per tax records, plus an estimated 160 sq ft below grade cellar. Previous demo work was started leaving a mostly a blank slate for your renovation vision plans. The original septic system has failed; however, a successful County perc test was completed in mid-January with an approved 3BR new conventional trench septic system scheduled to start installation the week of 4/13/26. The preferred sale will be cash or hard-money financing settled with a local title office. Reassignment contracts will not be accepted. Mortgage loans will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Home is being sold strictly as-is. Please note that most contents have been removed from inside the home, however, some items still remain.
