Property Description

Opportunity is knocking—and it's loud. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a versatile flex room sits on a sprawling 0.82-acre lot in the highly sought-after Petal School District, making it a prime target for investors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries alike. Whether you're searching for your next fix-and-flip, a cash-flowing rental, or the ideal location for a future office or boutique restaurant concept, this property delivers endless potential. Previously operating as a successful rental, the fundamentals are already in place—now it's ready for a refresh and a new chapter. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors preserved beneath carpet, waiting to be revealed and restored to their former glory. Major improvements add confidence, including updated plumbing and HVAC, allowing you to focus your budget on design and value-add upgrades rather than costly systems. The home also offers generous storage throughout, a rare and valuable feature for both residential and commercial use. The property proudly retains its historic charm and character, offering a timeless foundation that blends beautifully with modern renovation possibilities. With generous room sizes and a flexible layout, the space adapts easily to residential, commercial, or mixed-use ideas. Outside, the nearly one-acre lot opens the door to expansion, parking, outdoor seating, or redevelopment—rare flexibility in such a desirable location. A detached shed provides additional storage or workspace, adding even more functionality to the property. With motivated sellers and TLC unlocking significant upside, this is the kind of opportunity investors watch for—but rarely find. Bring your vision, your plans, and your creativity. This is more than a house—it's a blank canvas with history, location, and potential all working in your favor.
