Opportunity Knocks at 500 Pete Brittian Road! Bring your vision and your toolbox! This solid brick ranch offers the kind of opportunity that’s becoming harder to find. Sitting on a level 0.40 acre lot just minutes from I-40, this home has the space, layout, and potential to become something truly special. Inside you’ll find 1,692 heated square feet featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a spacious formal living room, and an oversized kitchen/dining area ready for your personal touch. One of the home’s standout features is the approximately 521 square foot den complete with an impressive floor to ceiling stone fireplace. This space is not currently included in the heated square footage because it does not have a permanent heat source. Installing one would provide the opportunity to incorporate this additional living space into the home’s heated square footage. This property is a true fixer upper and is priced with its condition in mind. Buyers should expect to complete updates and repairs throughout the home. While the home offers solid bones, generous room sizes, and incredible potential, it is being sold strictly AS IS. Cash or Conventional financing only. If you’re looking for a project with room to build equity, this is an excellent opportunity to transform a well built home into something truly special.
