INVESTORS ALERT! Seize the opportunity to acquire a semi-detached 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home walking distance to Del Ray, Potomac Yard Shopping Center, public transportation including the new Potomac Yard/VT metro station, close to Amazon HQ2, National Reagan airport, Pentagon/Pentagon City, and DC. The property is nestled on a flat landscaped and fenced lot. Updates in 2019 included new kitchen cabinets, new mosaic ceramic/glass backsplash, new stainless-steel appliances, and a renovated bathroom, which they are still in good condition. Unfortunately, hidden roof leaks and a sudden broken pipe in the front crawl space area damaged most of the hardwood flooring and some dry wall in the upper level. The property has presence of mold mainly in the basement area and some in the upper level as well. With such a convenient location and with no HOA fees, this gem in the works will shine again once you address needed repairs. It has potential to be transformed into a first-time primary home, a rental investment property, or a rehab project with resale value. Due to its condition, the property is sold AS IS and seller is currently requesting cash offers or rehab loans only and a quick settlement. There will be two open houses on Sat 7/13/2024 and Sun 7/14/2024 from 2-4 pm. Please bring your masks and flashlights to inspect the basement. Please watch your steps when walking inside the house as wood floors are uneven. Do not open storm door going from the back bedroom to the deck. It is stuck and it does not open. Deadline to submit offers is set for Tuesday, July 16th at 5 pm. Seller reserves the right to accept or reject any and/or all offers. Pictures will be uploaded soon.
