Realtor Comments
Here’s a fantastic fixer-upper opportunity located at 511 Logan St., Elmira, NY, priced to sell well below its estimated value of $90,000! The main floor features a classic L-shaped living/dining room, flowing into an open country kitchen with a breakfast bar and countertop island. Much of the kitchen is salvageable. A handy half-bathroom sits off the kitchen, and a spacious covered back porch leads to a deep 0.2-acre backyard with a small garage/shed for storage. The enclosed front porch has a roof leak, but it’s fixable. Upstairs, you’ll find original hardwood floors, three bedrooms (one with extra space), and a full bathroom that needs a partial reno. The full basement offers room for storage or a workshop. Utilities are off, and the home is sold strictly “as is” to settle an estate. Cash or rehab loan only. With off-street parking for two cars, this bargain is ready for your skills to transform it into a gem. Don’t wait-schedule a showing… and bring your flashlight.
