Property Description:
This 3-bed, 2-bath block-frame home in Astor offers a compelling opportunity for the right buyer. Sitting on a 0.31-acre lot with over 2,100 sq ft of living space, it’s one of the largest floor plans in the area. Between the oversized layout, detached workshop, and proximity to the St. Johns River, this is a property with multiple exit strategies and built-in value. The property was recently listed, went under contract at $190,000, but couldn’t finish the sale, because the roof needs to be replaced.
🛠️ Needs Light Work, But the Upside Is Clear
You’re walking into a house with strong bones and only light-to-moderate cosmetic work needed. Flooring, interior paint, and some kitchen/bath updates will go a long way. The AC is just 2.5 years old, and the water heater was installed in early 2024. Roof age is unknown, but there are no reported leaks. The real kicker? A massive 780 sq ft detached workshop, ideal for storage, hobbies, or even a creative conversion.

It’s also investor-friendly: bring your boat, bring your RV, and bring your vision.
