Property Description

This two-story semi-detached home in Columbia Borough presents a rare opportunity for experienced investors, contractors, and rehab specialists seeking their next project in a market where investment opportunities can be difficult to find. The property has sustained significant structural damage and has been condemned following an unexpected water event that resulted in foundation movement and structural concerns. Being sold strictly as-is, this property will require substantial repairs and restoration, but offers potential for buyers with vision and the ability to bring it back to life. Located just minutes from the Susquehanna River Trail, Turkey Hill Experience, Columbia Kettle Works, local dining, shopping, and antiques, the location adds to the property's long-term appeal. Potential opportunities may include restoration as a future owner-occupied home, long-term rental investment, or resale project, subject to buyer verification and due diligence. Property condition documents are available for review. Cash purchase only. Property is condemned and a signed waiver is required prior to entry. Experienced investors and contractors are strongly encouraged to explore the possibilities this unique opportunity may offer.
