Listing broker remarks

Attention all investors, flippers, contractors, or anyone who sees ''needs work'' and says ''let's go.''This 3 bed, 2 full bath Harwich home offers 1,248 sqft, hardwood floors, gas heat, and a corner lot. This is a very rare chance to buy upside potential in Harwich.Now for the fine print. Sold as-is, where-is, and very much ''what you see is what you get.'' The water, gas, and electricity are currently off and will remain off, so bring your imagination (and maybe a flashlight). As for the septic system? That's one of life's great mysteries, and solving it will be part of the buyer's adventure. But that's where the opportunity is. The location is there. The lot is there. The house is there. The rest is a blank canvas and your imagination. Bring your flashlight, contractor, and calculator, but don't run the numbers too long... someone else is already picturing the finished renovation and smiling at the before and after.— Keller Williams Realty
