This is a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to acquire a primary residence on Town Mountain under 500K with all the heavy lifting being done already (new roof, HVAC and interior/exterior painting). Better yet, the basement is set up for an AirBnB with a strong rental history that could pay most if not all of your mortgage. The main level of the house has also been used as a Airbnb rental since the end of September '19 as well. Maybe you want a second home or pre-retirement home to use prior to permanently moving to the area and can have someone else pay your mortgage until you are ready. Do it NOW. You will regret not pursuing this one. Located outside city limits with county taxes only. PLEASE NO DRIVE BY'S
