Great opportunity to acquire a home in a highly desired area of Ben Lomond. Flat parcel with steep drop off (Approx. 50+ Ft.) at the rear of property to the San Lorenzo River. This home is being sold "As Is". Better than a "Fixer", although there are a number of items/issues needing attention. Not considered "move in ready", but certainly "livable". Home has not been occupied for nearly 3 years due to previous owners being in "Assisted Living". Trustee sale. Could serve as a 3 Bedroom as there is a "Bedroom-sized" room with no closet. A few steps to Masood's Deli/Market and other services. Close to schools and Valley exit. Ideal for someone who is "handy", creative, and an "opportunist". Rear property line in the middle of the River, but reportedly, flood insurance is not required......Buyer to verify. Single level living, carport, storage shed/workshop. Nearly 100% fenced yard, and at this price, a little TLC may produce abundant equity! Room for 3-4 cars within the fenced front yard. Mature fruit trees and room for garden. Previously "leaky" roof has been repaired, not so old metal roof should provide many years of service. Most interior ceiling tile damage attributed to condensation buildup due to non-use (no interior heat) and "SubT" termites.. Motivated Seller!
