    What's special

    *Multiple offers received* Highest & best offers are due by 10 am on Monday 03/11/2024. Embrace the extraordinary transformation of the once viral "$1 listing" in Pontiac, Michigan! This isn't just a renovation; it's a Cinderella story for homes. Picture this: what was once dubbed a "piece of work" has now been meticulously crafted into an incredible 3-bedroom wonder, proving that even houses can rise from the ashes to become neighborhood icons. Nestled on a humble crawl space, this nearly 1000 sqft abode has seen a makeover so thorough, you'd think it was witness protection for houses. Featuring new everything – and we mean everything. From a roof that's never seen rain to a furnace that's still learning what winter feels like. And let's not forget the hot water heater, so fresh and so clean, you'd half expect it to start rapping OutKast's greatest hits. Step inside and be greeted by a living space that's as welcoming as a grandma's hug, but with none of the outdated wallpaper. The kitchen, now a culinary oasis, awaits your cooking shows and failed Pinterest recipes. Three bedrooms offer sanctuary for dreams, storage, and the occasional online shopping spree that you swear was necessary. But wait, there's more! Situated in the heart of Pontiac, this home is not just a living space; it's a statement. A testament to the power of elbow grease, vision, and possibly a small fortune in renovation costs. It's the perfect abode for anyone who appreciates a good before-and-after story or simply desires a cozy nook to call their own. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of internet fame and local lore. The infamous "$1 home": where dreams are built, hot water flows abundantly, and the only thing from the past that remains is the unbelievable price tag story. Come see why this isn't just a house; it's a legend reborn.
