About this home
NEW ROOF to be installed before closing! Welcome to one of the most interesting sweat equity opportunities you will find in Derby! Situated at the back of a quiet horseshoe on nearly half an acre, this property backs to Dry Creek with no neighbors directly behind and is surrounded by majestic mature trees. If you have been looking for a home where you can roll up your sleeves, invest some serious work, make it completely your own, and potentially build significant equity along the way, this may be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Now, let us get one thing out of the way from the beginning. This home is a project. And we mean a real project! It will require extensive updating throughout and was also previously occupied by a smoker. We believe in being completely transparent so buyers can evaluate the opportunity with their eyes wide open. The good news is that we have already completed a prelisting home inspection, so instead of wondering what adventures might await, buyers can review the report and have a much better understanding of the condition and potential scope of work before diving in. From the street, you will immediately begin to see why this property may be worth the effort. Mature trees, established shrubs and flowers, stately brown brick, and a charming brick courtyard wall create wonderful curb appeal. A wrought iron gate welcomes you through the courtyard entrance, flanked by brick pillars topped with traditional light fixtures. Inside, you will find character and details that simply are not common in many newer homes. Rich wood built ins with glass paneled cabinetry add warmth and character to the dining area, while the hearth room is anchored by a dramatic floor to ceiling brick fireplace flanked by windows that bring in abundant natural light. With some imagination and probably a few trips to the hardware store, these are the kinds of features that could become truly special again. The spacious primary bedroom offers even more potential, including an ensuite bath with generous countertop space and a walk in shower. A glass exterior door provides abundant natural light and direct access to the back deck, connecting the bedroom to the beautiful setting beyond. Downstairs, the possibilities continue with a large tiled family room centered around a wood burning fireplace finished in slate style tile. You will also find an unfinished bonus room along with a large mechanical and storage area complete with useful built in shelving. Outside may be where the potential becomes most apparent. The expansive backyard offers tremendous privacy with mature trees, nearly half an acre of space, Dry Creek beyond the property, and no homes immediately behind. A convenient concrete walkway wraps around the side of the home, connecting the garage entrance with the backyard and providing easy access throughout the property. This is not a turnkey home, and we are not pretending it is. But sometimes the homes that need the most imagination also offer the greatest opportunity. What you have here is a beautiful and private setting, mature trees, established character, and the chance for the right buyer to renovate a home to their own taste while potentially building meaningful equity in the process. Bring your ideas, bring your contractor, and maybe bring your work gloves too. This one is going to take some effort, but the possibilities here are tremendous! See you soon!...
