Priced below market, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom Fort Meade property offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space and includes a separate neighboring buildable lot in the sale price — providing expansion, development, or new construction potential.
Major renovations completed in 2023–2024 include a new roof, new windows, new siding, updated plumbing and electrical systems, renovated bathrooms, new flooring, and a reconfigured floor plan. The primary structure has already undergone significant capital improvements.
Interior features include two oversized first-floor suites, five full bathrooms, and a finished third-floor bonus space suitable for a bedroom, office, or flex space. The kitchen remains unfinished, offering the opportunity to customize finishes and design.
Situated on over half an acre with ample parking and multifamily potential (buyer to verify with city/county), this property presents multiple use options including primary residence, multi-generational living, rental investment, or new construction on the additional lot.
General contractors are available and ready to complete remaining improvements if desired. Seller financing available for qualified buyers.
Own a piece of Polk County history with flexible use potential and development upside.
