Looking for a high-reward challenge? This 600-square-foot cottage is the ultimate diamond in the rough. Let’s be honest: the exterior is currently buried under debris and needs a serious clean-up. But for the savvy investor, that "garbage" is just a temporary screen hiding a fantastic opportunity. Beneath the surface, this home boasts rock-solid bones and an efficient layout ready for a total reimagining. Because of its manageable size, your budget goes further—allowing you to splurge on high-end finishes that transform a small space into a luxury showstopper. Whether you’re eyeing a quick flip or a high-performing rental, this is the perfect "jewelry box" renovation. It’s compact, cost-effective, and positioned for massive equity growth. Don't let the current curb appeal scare you off—the real value is in the transformation. Bring your contractor, bring a dumpster, and let’s get to work! This is the project you've been waiting for. Possible DADU in the future (next year). Buyer to verify with Pierce County.
