Calling all renovators, flippers, and big-picture dreamers, this one's for YOU! Sitting on nearly one ACRE in beautiful Aspy Bay, this split entry home offers something you can't renovate in: a water view and location to conveniences of Cape North. Take in a view from the living room, the master bedroom, or simply standing out front. Nearby beaches, a short hop to the elementary school, and the everyday conveniences of Cape North, and you've got a location with real potential. This home is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS. It hasn't been lived in for many years. There is NO running water, and water will not be turned on for inspection. Very little is known about the property, and few details are available from the seller or to a purchaser. Buyers should do their own due diligence. Up from the main entrance you'll find the living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a full bath all on the main floor. Downstairs is mostly unfinished, with one basement bedroom and a space that could become a rec room for the right person willing to complete it. The utility room offers storage. A water softener was once in place but is no longer connected. A few things to budget for: the heating system will require replacement throughout, and all plumbing should be replaced within the home. Brand of electrical panel may require replacement (confirm with electrician or insurance provider). Roof will require repair or replacement as water has been entering either through shingles or missing soffit. For the buyer with vision, a hammer, and a plan, the bones, the acreage, and that view are waiting. Could this be YOUR next reno or flip? Sold as is, where is. No well test available unless directly from the well itself, by a well company.More details
