About this home

Unleash the Potential: Prime Renovation Opportunity Near Historic Jim Thorpe & Tamaqua Bring your vision and design plans to this blank-canvas duplex unit where the heavy lifting and dirty work have already been completed. Rear rubber ROOF was replaced and ALL WINDOWS (excepting the enclosed porch) have already been replaced! Fully gutted down to the studs, this property eliminates the time and expense of demolition, presenting an ideal foundation for an investor, flipper, or ambitious homeowner looking to build instant equity in a thriving Pocono-fringe corridor. Key infrastructure upgrades are already underway: high-efficiency replacement windows have been installed throughout, preliminary electrical wiring has been run, and a winterized oil-burning furnace is in place. Because the interior is framed to the studs, the floor plan offers total architectural flexibility. Reconfigure the existing partition framing to match your exact specifications--easily accommodating a 2- to 3-bedroom layout, with ample square footage on the main level to incorporate a first-floor primary bedroom and full bath. Exceptional Package Deal & Expansion Potential This unit shares a common wall with 209 Yard Street, an adjoining half that is fully move-in ready and currently offered separately. Prospective buyers have the rare opportunity to acquire both sides together at an attractive bundled discount. The current owners envisioned opening the interior demising wall to combine both units into one expansive, multi-story single-family residence. Alternatively, savvy investors can live in the turnkey side while finishing this unit, or lease both for strong dual-stream cash flow. Location & Lifestyle Situated just minutes from both historic downtown Jim Thorpe--often called the 'Switzerland of America'--and historic downtown Tamaqua, this location is an absolute magnet for full-time residents and short-term getaway seekers alike. The surrounding region is packed with year-round outdoor recreation and cultural destinations: Scenic passenger train excursions along the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, World-class mountain biking along the D&L Trail and Mauch Chunk Lake Park, Whitewater rafting, kayaking, and fishing on the Lehigh River, Bustling downtown shopping, fine dining, artisan cafes, live music, and regional art galleries Property Details & Offering Terms Condition: Sold **as-is**. Materials: Select on-site building materials are negotiable with an acceptable offer. Layout: Highly adaptable footprint; studded framing supports 2 to 3 bedrooms with main-level living possibilities. Adjoining Property: Inquire regarding package pricing for both this parcel and move-in-ready 209 Yard Street. 145795 AND PM-145797
