Investor Special - 7 Earl Street | Full Gut Renovation Opportunity Calling all savvy investors and visionary flippers! 7 Earl Street is your next big opportunity. This estate property is being sold as-is and is ready for a complete transformation. The structure appears solid, but the interior needs a complete gut and rebuild. There is currently no kitchen or working bathroom, and a past pipe burst has left its mark-expect water damage throughout. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those with the vision and resources, the potential is huge. Whether you're looking to flip for profit or build a custom rental, this blank canvas is ready for your plans. Enter at your own risk - personal belongings remain and will not be removed. Bring your contractor, your creativity, and your flashlight-this one won't last long!
