CALLING ALL CONTRACTORS & INVESTORS! Your ideal winter project is here—finish the demo/build-out now and have it primed for the lucrative spring and summer market in Clear Lake!
Situated in a prime location within easy walking distance to downtown and right along the famous 4th of July parade route, this historic property offers massive potential as a high-yield short-term vacation rental or custom private residence.
Much of the heavy lifting is already started: the home is currently ~80% gutted to the studs with newer exterior siding already in place. Historic character remains intact and waiting to be restored, featuring original trim, the original front door, and a beautiful wood banister and staircase. The versatile floor plan offers a spacious 3-season porch, a large kitchen ready for a custom island, a bright formal dining room with a bay window, and a sunlit living room with an oversized picture window.
Exceptional convenience rarely seen downtown: extensive off-street parking via the large driveway plus alley access, leaving ample room to park multiple vehicles alongside your boat or RV. Large detached 2- garage with workspace.
Property is being sold AS-IS, CASH ONLY. Bring your vision, unlock the equity, and make this Clear Lake gem shine! Owner is a real estate agent licensed in the state of Iowa.
$1,430/mo
Est. mortgage payment based on a $215,000 home price.
