Listed by Keller Williams CentralInvestor special with serious upside potential in a highly convenient Elon location. This property has already been taken down to the studs, offering a rare opportunity to start fresh and fully customize the interior layout, finishes, and systems to your exact specifications. Whether you are an experienced investor, builder, or buyer looking to take on a full-scale renovation, this home provides the framework for a complete transformation. The existing structure includes a 2-bedroom, plus bonus room that could be utilized as 3rd bedroom, 1.5-story footprint with a fireplace, giving you flexibility to reimagine the space for modern living. Outside, the property features a valuable 2-bay detached shop equipped with automatic doors, durable concrete flooring, and a commercial-grade car lift—ideal for automotive work, storage, or a workshop setup that is increasingly hard to find. Located just minutes from Elon University, this property benefits from proximity to a vibrant college community, as well as quick access to Burlington, shopping centers, restaurants, and major highways for easy commuting. The surrounding area continues to see steady growth, making this an attractive option for resale, rental, or long-term hold. With key work already started, this is a true blank canvas ready for completion. Opportunities like this—where you can control design, layout, and finish level from the ground up—are increasingly rare in this price segment and location.
