Overview
Description
Opportunity awaits with this 912-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch home situated on a sprawling 0.95-acre lot within the highly sought-after Westerville City School District. This home is built on a crawl space and features the significant mechanical upgrade of a newly installed well, providing peace of mind for the next owner. The property offers a rare combination of space and location, featuring a large fenced-in backyard that provides a private oasis for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or recreation. For those needing extra storage or workspace, the site is well-equipped with a detached two-car garage, an additional carport, and a functional storage shed.
While the interior requires some TLC, this home represents a premier 'diamond in the rough' opportunity for handymen, investors, or those looking for a high-potential fix-and-flip project. The location is truly unbeatable for convenience and long-term value, situated just miles from Mount Carmel St. Ann's Hospital and the historic Otterbein University campus. Whether you are looking to build sweat equity as an owner-occupant or seeking a high-demand rental property near major employers, this property delivers immense upside. This home sells at online auction subject to POA approval, with bidding beginning to end on February 23 at 7:00 PM. Don't miss your chance to secure a home with this much land and infrastructure in a prime location—register and bid online before the auction closes!
