About this home
Single Family · Built 1902 · Historic
HOLD HARMLESS FROM THE DOCUMENTS SECTION MUST BE SIGNED AND EMAILED TO THE LISTING AGENT BEFORE TOURS ARE APPROVED Opportunity knocks! This Battle Creek property offers great potential for investors or handy buyers looking to finish what's been started. Much of the cosmetic work is already done, including new flooring, fresh drywall, updated bathrooms with new fixtures, fresh interior paint, and a newer electrical panel. With a little more work and the right finishing touches, this could be an excellent flip, rental, or affordable home to make your own. Convenient location near downtown and major amenities. Sold as-is, where-is. Potentially eligible for FHA 203(k) or other renovation-type financing—buyer to verify with lender. This home is condemned and buyer will need to work with the City to get a Certificate of Occupancy.
