Listing Description

INVESTORS & DIY ENTHUSIASTS - DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Unlock the potential of this spacious property offering over 2,500 finished square feet in a highly desirable Johnson City location. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, this home is ready for a complete renovation and offers endless possibilities for investors, flippers, or buyers looking to create their dream home.

The main level includes a living room, dining room, kitchen with adjoining laundry area, walk-through pantry, two bedrooms, and one and a half baths, including an addition. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath. An unfinished basement provides ample storage or future expansion potential.

Bonus Opportunity! A detached garage/workshop with a small second-floor apartment is located at the rear of the property. The structure is in poor condition and will likely require demolition or extensive reconstruction. Despite its current condition, the building sits on a concrete slab and has existing electrical and plumbing utilities already in place.

This provides an excellent foundation for future improvements. With the appropriate zoning approvals and permits, the site could be ideal for constructing a new workshop, garage, storage building, or even an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or small guest house.

Buyers looking for renovation or redevelopment potential will appreciate the possibilities this property offers. Zoned RO-1 (Residential Office), the property offers flexibility for residential use, a professional office, or a combination of both, subject to local zoning regulations.

Conveniently located just minutes from vibrant downtown Johnson City, with easy access to shopping, dining, schools, ETSU, Milligan University, Johnson City Medical Center, the VA Campus, and I-26. This property is being sold as-is and presents an exceptional opportunity to restore, renovate, or reimagine in a prime location. Incredible Value - Listed $158,000 Below Tax Appraisal
