Not every home has to be fully updated to be a great buy. If you've been looking for a place where you can make it your own instead of paying for someone else's renovations, this home is worth a look.The seller has priced the home with the needed updates in mind. A roof replacement estimate of approximately $14,000 has already been obtained, so buyers know what to expect instead of guessing. While the roof is near the end of its expected life, there are no known active leaks, and the home is currently occupied and fully functional. The seller is also offering a credit with an acceptable offer that can be used toward closing costs, repairs, or an interest rate buy-down.This home was previously under contract, but the sale ended because of lender-required property condition items, not because of the home's value. It is being sold as-is, and buyers are encouraged to verify financing eligibility before submitting an offer.Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1,274 square feet of living space, a one-level layout, a large rear deck, and a quarter-acre lot. Located in Placid Bay Estates, you'll also enjoy access to community boat ramps, a T-dock, and a community center, all just minutes from Colonial Beach, the boardwalk, restaurants, shopping, and NSF Dahlgren.Whether you're looking for your first home, a rental property, or a place where you can build equity over time, this home offers a chance to buy at a price that already takes the needed improvements into account.Come see it for yourself and decide if it's the right fit.
