Description

410 N Orange Ave is the kind of house an investor drives past twice. A 1945 wood frame single-family home, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 930 square feet, sitting on a fenced third of an acre inside the Umatilla city limits in Lake County, Florida 32784. Sold as-is, cash, and honest about what it needs. Start with the work, because that is what you came for. The roof takes a plywood repair and new shingles at the front left. The flooring comes out wall to wall, linoleum in the kitchen and bath, carpet everywhere else. In the kitchen the cabinetry and uppers are already hung and a double basin sink sits under a garden window, so the range is the piece that gets replaced. Outside, the wood clapboard siding wants scraping and fresh paint, with siding and window repairs along one side elevation and a door repair at the 48 square foot open porch off the side entry, two steps up from the yard. Window AC units are cooling the house today. The electric service and meter are on the side wall, the kitchen plumbing runs in PVC, city water comes in, a septic tank goes out, garbage service runs at the curb, and internet is already pulled to the house. Nothing hidden. Price it from the driveway. Now the part a builder cannot buy back. The rear bedroom is vaulted in pecky pine with an exposed beam, split by a partial wall that opens into a sitting room. The living room still carries its original plaster in the old Venetian style. Original door casings and trim run throughout. Wide single hung wood sash windows and a broad picture window drop daylight across both main rooms, ceiling fans hang overhead, and there is an attic access panel in the ceiling. Then the land, which is where this one earns twice. A board fence wraps the yard, with 94 feet of frontage on N Orange Ave running 155 feet deep. A 384 square foot detached garage built in 1944 sits at the back with a washer and dryer hookup already run to it, a metal gable roof over open framing, and a full width bay, big enough for a shop, storage or a conversion project. Grass, shade trees, and room to park a truck and a trailer without blocking the drive. The address does the leasing for you. The home sits in town directly behind the high school football field. A grocery store is less than a quarter mile up the road, restaurants and services are a few blocks away, Eustis is close by for shopping and errands, and Orlando is about forty miles out for work. That is what keeps an in-town Umatilla rehab rented. Fix and flip it. Hold it as a BRRRR with a long term rental in place. Or buy and hold it in a Lake County town where wood frame in-town houses on real lots still trade. Flippers, contractors, landlords and hands on rehabbers, this is your 1940s Umatilla fixer upper: investor special, handyman special, 32784 rehab project, fenced lot, detached garage, city water and septic. Bring a contractor, bring a scope, and buy the bones. Sold as-is, cash, no repairs and no warranty.
