About this home

** Owner financing available w/ 50% down, contact for other terms ** FIXER UPPER for SALE in the Helton Creek area of Lansing, NC! Locals call it "the mayor's house". Needs a lot of work but TON of potential - it flooded with Hurricane Helene, washed out the right side of the foundation and approximately 1.5-2 feet of water entered the home. County Zoning office confirmed it can be repaired, no special regulations since it is NOT located in the 100 year flood plain. Built around 1890, has a well and septic. Metal roof installed around 6 years ago per previous owner. Approximately .75 acre lot. Great location - Helton Creek across the street, stocked with trout, walk to the convenience store & grill within seconds, playground/community center next door, & great access to 194 N. Being sold AS-IS. NO TRESPASSING - contact listing agent to schedule viewing. Listing agent is owner/seller.
