Property Description

FIXER-UPPER / RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY. Built in 1948, 418 Sharptown Road is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage/bungalow just minutes from downtown Canton and approximately 20 minutes from Asheville or Waynesville. This property needs significant repairs and renovation and is best suited for a buyer who is prepared to make a substantial investment in the home after closing. Whether you're a homeowner looking for a renovation project or an investor/contractor considering a rental or flip, the property offers an opportunity to restore an older home with plenty of character. The home offers approximately 1,030 square feet with a functional layout and features including original hardwood floors in the living room and primary bedroom, arched doorways, solid wood doors with antique doorknobs, generous windowsills, a separate laundry/mud room, and windows on all sides. Outside are a 28' x 10' deck spanning one side of the house, a smaller covered rear deck, a small side porch with a sunrise view, and a large wood window box outside the dining nook. The driveway easement, bordered by bushes and mature trees, contributes to a spacious feel in the backyard. Buyers should note that this is not a move-in-ready home. Known repair needs include grading to address water drainage from the uphill slope, foundation/footer work, and repairs associated with water intrusion and settling. Water has entered the 1/4-basement area, and the bathroom floor has sustained damage requiring replacement of floor joists. The smaller bedroom currently has subfloor only and will need finished flooring. Additional repairs and improvements may be discovered as renovation work progresses, and buyers should carefully evaluate the condition and anticipated renovation costs before purchasing. The property is being sold strictly AS IS, with the seller making no repairs, and the asking price reflects its current condition and known repair needs. All appliances convey. For a buyer with the resources and vision to undertake the work, 418 Sharptown Road offers appealing character, a convenient location, and the opportunity to renovate the property to suit their needs while potentially building equity. Schedule a showing to evaluate the property and determine whether this renovation opportunity is the right fit.
