Deal of the Week: Mount Pleasant Fixer Upper, Patience Required

  • April 6th 2010

Deal of the Week: Mount Pleasant Fixer Upper, Patience Required: Figure 1

Patience will be required if you are interested in this week’s Deal of the Week but it could pay off in the long run. This three-bedroom, three-bath row house in Mount Pleasant is a short sale and as any regular reader of UrbanTurf knows, the buying process for these properties can be long and frustrating (read more about short sales here). Despite its status, the home is listed well below market for a three-bedroom in this neighborhood. It will require some renovations and improvements, but it has a number of the original details including a bordered wood floor, custom shutters, and wall insets. Parking won’t be an issue as the home has a one-car garage with a driveway in back. For the full listing, click here.
