Property Description
***Recent $30,000 Price Improvement*** This Down East coastal renovation opportunity is now offered at the discounted NEW PRICE of $165,000 to reflect the property's current condition and to provide the next Owner the chance to renovate and make the necessary improvements that best fit their vision/needs. Just minutes from Harkers Island, this home is ideal for experienced DIYers and contractors looking to unearth this hidden gem as their very own fishing cottage, hunting camp, or weekend retreat, as well as investors seeking a coastal renovation project to fix and flip for an income-producing asset. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5-bathrooms, this 1950s cottage situated on .5 acre is ready to be reimagined while still offering current benefits that include generous outdoor space for vehicles, boats, trailers, outdoor equipment, gardening, and entertaining. Additionally, there is a barn with a lean-to, providing storage for tools, lawn care, and outdoor toys. Further, the location of this home is hard to beat as you can enjoy quick, easy access to the Straits Public Boat Ramp, Fishing Pier, and nearby public beach access. What's more, the Harkers Island Ferry Service to Cape Lookout National Seashore and Shackleford Banks, as well as Historic Beaufort and its Downtown Waterfront for dining, shopping, and entertainment, are approximately 15 minutes away. Whether you envision that private fishing cottage, hunting camp, weekend coastal retreat, investment property, or completely renovated Down East cottage, this property offers the opportunity to create something of your own in a desirable coastal location. With a significant Price Improvement of $30,000 to accommodate needed improvements, the home is being sold As-Is, and the Seller will make no repairs from Home Inspections or prospective Lender Requirements during Due Diligence in order to make this home move-in ready. Priced at $165,000, bring your vision, your contractor, or your toolbox, and make this coastal property your ideal fit!
