This may be the investment opportunity you are seeking. This is a really pretty parcel in Ayden's ETJ, but as pretty as it is and as much history as it holds, the home no longer has a water source. The home dates back to 1901 per the county records and at one time was a part of the Carolina Milling Company's property. There is a covered side porch, two outbuildings and a large grape vine pergola. The home has 1 bedroom and 1 full bathroom. Of the heated 1162 sqft, 371 sqft is considered unpermitted, as there are not any building or septic permits for the rear addition that added a den and a room used as a 2nd bedroom. In addition to the home needing water, it is evident the house needs repairs. The flooring is very soft/weak in many areas, and dips in others. The home has vinyl siding and most of the trim is wrapped, but wood damage is visible around windows and on the covered side porch. There was a previous plumbing leak, roof leak, storm water under the home, and currently a black stain on the ceiling in the 2nd bedroom. It is not known if the building to the left of the parcel is encroaching. Water is not available at the road. Depending upon the buyers intended use of the property, may want to have the lot assessed for a well or request an easement from the neighbor(s) to allow access to EPWC service on Emma Cannon Road. NO pre-listing inspections have been done. Property is being sold AS-IS with NO repairs being made by the sellers. Water and propane WILL NOT be provided for any inspections or appraisals. NO personal property inside or outside of any buildings will be removed by the sellers, it all conveys. All buyer agents and their clients should do their own due diligence and use qualified individuals when evaluating this property. BEFORE VIEWING OR MAKING AN OFFER, CONTACT LISTING AGENT OR YOUR BUYER'S AGENT TO OBTAIN A COPY OF THE LISTING AGENT'S PRE-LISTING OBSERVATIONS, DISCLOSURES, AND MATERIAL FACTS. WILL NEED TO SIGN A RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT BEFORE VIEWING.
