Lots of Potential!! Priced to Sell!! Priced 50k+ below similar homes in the area. Solid block construction, 2 block fireplaces, and a huge 8,000+SF lot!! 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms (master has its own private bathroom). Endless possibilities! you can easily enclose the garage completely. Interesting Spanish tiles in most areas and some arches with artistic decorations reminiscent of what you typically see in Arcadia. Excellent location -- just 1 mile to access the 101 at Cactus or Shea! In the heart of North Scottsdale East of the 101, so many excellent schools to choose from!! Close to all shopping and restaurants that North Scottsdale has to offer. Overlook the 25k for updating and see the Opportunity!! This is a Great starter/investment home in N Scottsdale at a Low price! OH Sun Current Owners believe the prior owner replaced the roof and AC around 2002, but not completely sure. The home is being sold As-Is, mainly cosmetic work is needed, the home is very solid -- All block construction (excluding the rear addition off the dining room - currently used as an office). You could make the home "good/decent" for 10-15k, but to many, it really needs a full remodel -- which would run approximately 25-35k depending on what you do. Current owners replaced both bathroom vanities, but, didn't replace showers/floor, hardware, etc. This can be done by the new buyers with their own personal choices! The kitchen cabinets are functional, but, many will want to update/replace the kitchen; and the home needs a paint job inside and out. We have bids as follows: complete remodeling of both bathrooms, $ 5k/each; remodel the kitchen 8k plus appliances, so, call it 10k for a new kitchen; $ 4k for a complete paint job (2k inside and 2k outside); 1k for new light fixtures throughout the home; 3k for landscape improvements; $2k carpet in bedrooms; that comes to a total of around $30k, all numbers are approximate, but we help our clients do many of these type of changes each month and we can assist in connecting you to the right contractors. If a buyer wants to replace the Mexican tile that could add another 8k, but, the current Tile has character and is functional, but, others may want a new contemporary tile. Obviously someone can spend more or less, depending on the scope of work, materials, etc. : some Buyers may choose to spend 10k, others 25k and some 40-50k, it's all a matter of personal preferences and choices!! But, for those Buyers who don't like what is available on the market For Sale, at 299k this home offers you the opportunity to remodel the home as you like and still have a final cost after rehab in the low to mid 300 range.
