Property Description
*** BE AWARE OF SCAM, THIS PROPERTY IS ABSOLUTELLY NOT FOR RENT *** Investor opportunity in progress. This large 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home located on a residential street offers strong potential for buyers looking to take over and complete an unfinished project. Previously purchased for renovation and resale, work began but was not completed with proper city permits. A stop-work order has been issued by the city, and current violations remain open. Any buyer must be prepared to resolve those issues and finish the renovation to bring the property into compliance. The structure and layout of the home remain highly desirable. The main level opens into a spacious living and dining area filled with natural light from oversized front windows. The flow is open and flexible, ideal for modern living or resale potential once completed. A full bathroom is conveniently located just off the main hallway, adjacent to a large eat-in kitchen space. The kitchen includes room for future cabinetry, updated appliances, and features a charming breakfast nook that looks out toward the backyard. Also located on the main level is the primary bedroom, which is separated from the other two bedrooms for privacy. This spacious bedroom offers generous storage and great potential for a primary suite layout with additional finishing. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms located on either side of a full bath, offering comfortable and efficient use of space. The home includes a full unfinished basement housing mechanicals, laundry connections, and a large open space that could be converted into a lower-level family room, gym, office, or media area. Finishing the basement would significantly expand the livable square footage and overall value of the property. Out back, the property features a fenced yard with plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment, pets, or entertaining. A concrete parking pad is already in place and could be converted into a full garage structure if desired. The lot is level, open, and easy to maintain, offering flexibility for future landscaping or custom outdoor designs. This property is located near neighborhood parks, bus routes, and major transit lines including nearby Laramie Station and multiple Pace bus stops. Grocery stores, small businesses, and local schools are also within close range. Whether the goal is to create a long-term residence, rental property, or complete a flip project, the bones and location support a variety of strategies. Buyer must be prepared to finish the renovation and address all outstanding code violations. The home is being sold as-is, with the buyer assuming all existing city requirements and any necessary permits, inspections, or repairs needed to complete the project. Showings available by appointment. This property offers strong layout, space, and structure with work still to be done. Finish what was started and unlock the value in this west side investment opportunity.
