Description

Location, location, location. Offering a Fixer upper just 1 mile from downtown Helen with an acre of land! So much potential for a cash buyer willing to complete the finishing touches. This property has the potential of a 3 in 1 asset- house, detached garage (that was previously finished) & RV hookup. The main house is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom tri-level home in front of a SPACIOUS detached garage that was previously finished into 2 apartments. It has been cleaned out and is now a blank slate.

This property has the potential of a 3 in 1 asset- house, detached garage (that was previously finished) & RV hookup. The main house is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom tri-level home in front of a SPACIOUS detached garage that was previously finished into 2 apartments. It has been cleaned out and is now a blank slate. Possibly create more cash flow with the RV hookup in the back of the property near the storage building. The main house has a master on the main with a bonus sitting area sunroom. The highlights of this home include the soaring cathedral ceiling in the living room and LARGE OPEN EAT-IN KITCHEN with plenty of windows making a sunny breakfast nook. Multiple decks and porches allow you to enjoy the fresh mountain air. Don't forget the low maintenance metal roof also! The current owner has had most of the work already completed, new flooring, new stainless steel appliances, new fiber cement siding, new front porch, new doors, new windows and custom stonework entrance. Current owner was forced to give up on this investment due to health issues. Their loss is your gain. Hurry - Won't Last Long!
