Calling all investors! Excellent opportunity with large, open lot of 0.8 acres located within walking distance of downtown Rutherfordton. The property started renovations, but unfortunately, they were halted due to Hurricane Helene. Roof is less than five years old, and the interior has been gutted, requiring new electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems. The bathroom and kitchen have been partially started, new vinyl flooring and a new walk-in shower. Owner is real estate agent. Buyer to verify all information, agent makes no representations due to never occupying home.
