Remarks
Great location minutes to Furman University, Swamp Rabbit Trail, and Travelers Rest. Investor Special. This has needs TLC but has tons of potential! Full brick bungalow with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Lot is level and is .7 acres. This is part of an estate and is a "fixer upper". This house will not qualify for FHA or VA loans. Representative has never lived in the property and has no knowledge of what does or does not function. It will need a new roof soon and HVAC is not working at this time. Seller does not know the condition of the fireplace. It will take the seller at least 48 hours to respond.
