Under contract-accepting backup offers. Updated, Move-In Ready Home with Endless Potential & Lake Parker Views! Welcome to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on an oversized 1/3-acre corner lot with views of Lake Parker. Offering a flexible floor plan, multiple living areas, dual entrances, and separate parking, this property is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, a private guest suite, or even income-producing opportunities. Having previously operated as a successful Airbnb, the home offers built-in potential for buyers seeking additional income. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful updates throughout, including new double-pane windows (2023), fresh interior and exterior paint (2023), luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms (2023), engineered bamboo flooring, updated lighting, and a beautifully remodeled full bathroom. The kitchen is complemented by a secondary kitchenette/wet bar, creating added convenience for extended family, guests, or entertaining. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a 2018 roof, A/C systems replaced in 2021 and 2015, and a spacious screened lanai overlooking the expansive fenced yard. Washer, dryer, and most mounted TVs are included. Imagine making this home truly your own. Qualified buyers may have the opportunity to purchase this home using traditional financing while incorporating renovation financing to customize and modernize the property—all within one affordable monthly mortgage payment. Whether your vision includes creating a luxurious primary suite, adding a third bathroom, opening up living spaces, updating the kitchen, or adding your own personal design touches, this home provides the flexibility to make it happen from day one. Don’t let the missing third bathroom be the reason you pass on this home—it could be the very reason you build instant equity. Instead of paying a premium for someone else’s renovations, create the home you’ve always wanted while financing the improvements as part of your purchase. A real opportunity. This is more than just a move-in-ready home—it’s a home with possibilities. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a multi-generational living arrangement, or an investment property with proven income potential, this home offers flexibility today and the opportunity to create even more value for tomorrow.
