About this home
THIS IS DEALERS CHOICE!! The owners of this property bought the home next door as an upgrade to this property. They continued to use this as an art studio, etc. However, it was not maintained as a livable home during that time. That is why it is being SOLD AS IS. Sellers do not know what still works and what doesn't and that's why appliances, etc. are not listed. They are there but as is. Now, the dealers choice. Renovate what's there, lots of TLC needed. Pull fifth wheel out and build on. Pull fifth wheel out and use space for large motorhome ( deep lot ) and renovate built over or not. Remove all and use as RV lot or build a home on the lot. Green space is behind lot for privacy and the lot to right of home belongs to sellers and is vacant and part of their home. All I can say is you have many options for this listing but you won't have a lot of time to purchase this I'm afraid as this type of home options is highly sought after right now. About to forget, this property is located right above tennis and pickleball courts, etc.
