Details
Tucked into the established, tree-lined streets of the Settlers Landing community in North Chesterfield's Bon Air area, 10639 Looking Glass Rd is being sold AS-IS with tremendous upside for investors and owner-occupants alike. Bring your vision and claim your equity!
Built in 1978, the home offers 1,712 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Hardwood flooring runs through much of the layout, and a masonry wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area. The home also includes wheelchair-accessible features and an installed stair lift, improvements a buyer could retain for accessibility appeal or remove during renovation, depending on the vision for the property.
The property was inherited by two family members, who are now bringing it to market through auction as a renovation project ready for its next chapter. Whether you're an investor eyeing a fix-and-flip or an owner-occupant looking to build sweat equity in a top-tier school district, this home offers the bones and the location to make it work.
Outside, the home sits on a generous 0.28-acre lot — plenty of room to expand, landscape or add value through curb appeal. The low HOA keeps ongoing costs minimal.
Location is a major selling point: the home is zoned for Greenfield Elementary School and Robious Middle School, both less than two miles away. It's also just minutes from shopping and dining along Huguenot Road and Midlothian Turnpike, with easy access to downtown Richmond, the James River and Pocahontas State Park.
A minimum reserve of $352,000 (inclusive of the 10% buyer's premium) applies, and closing is expected within 30 days of the auction. All offers are presented to the seller, who reserves the right to reject any bid below the stated reserve.
