Listing broker remarks

Investor alert: this home offers over 3,000 square feet of living space and is priced well below assessed value — a rare shot at real sweat equity in a market where turnkey inventory is scarce and updated homes move fast. The generous floor plan gives you options most listings can't — strong potential for a multi-family conversion, a straightforward split for an accessory dwelling unit, or flexible bonus space perfect for a home office or in-law setup. Whatever your investment strategy, the bones are here to support it. Throughout the home, original hardwood through out the downstairs, waiting to be refinished and brought back to their original shine. The generous room sizes and classic layout set up a full renovation to pay off, whether you're planning a top-to-bottom gut or a lighter cosmetic refresh to boost resale value. Out back, the yard is where this property really sets itself apart: a spacious lot with an existing pool that's ready to be restored into a true backyard oasis. For an investor with vision, this is a standout feature few comparable properties can offer — imagine the finished product as a major selling point for resale, or an amenity that commands premium rent if you're building a multi-family or ADU income strategy. This is the kind of project that rewards buyers who can see past a little bit of work to the upside underneath: significant square footage, a flexible layout with multiple paths to added value, hardwood floors ready to be uncovered, and a backyard with pool potential that's hard to find at this price point. Priced well below assessed value, this home has real room to grow equity, whether your plan is a full renovation, a conversion to multiple units, or an ADU build-out for rental income. Bring your vision, your contractor, and your creativity — calling all investors, flippers, and TLC buyers ready to roll up their sleeves and unlock serious upside in Auburn. Homes with this much space and this much potential, priced well below assessed value, don't sit long. Schedule your showing today before this opportunity is gone.— eXp Realty
