Under contract-accepting backup offers. Fixer-Upper Duplex with Court Approval Required – Prime Clearwater Location Unlock the potential of this vacant duplex opportunity located at 1216 Franklin Circle in Clearwater. With two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, this property is ideal for investors or buyers ready to roll up their sleeves and bring new life to a solid structure with great upside. The first-floor unit features durable terrazzo flooring and includes a 1-car attached garage, while the second-floor unit offers a mix of carpet and wood flooring, along with a large outdoor deck above the garage for private outdoor space. There is shared laundry onsite, and both units benefit from a flat rolled roof that appears intact, though updates may be needed. Notably, the upstairs ceiling has unexplained wood panels installed, and the property overall reflects significant deferred maintenance. This duplex is part of an estate sale (not subject to probate), and final sale must be approved by the court. It has not been used as an income-producing property in recent years, offering a clean slate for redevelopment or rental use. With its central location, block construction, and solid layout, this is a prime opportunity to renovate and reap long-term rewards. Sold strictly as-is. Cash offers only. Court approval required for closing.
