Fixer-Upper in Herkimer, NY – Short-Term Owner Financing or Hard Money May Be Available
Discover the potential in this rustic Herkimer fixer-upper, tucked away on a quiet dead-end street offering peace, privacy, and small-town charm. Featuring original slab floors and packed with character, this home is a blank canvas waiting for your vision. It's not currently move-in ready, but with the right updates, it could become an ideal flip, long-term rental, or personalized owner-occupied retreat.
This is a cash-only sale, sold as-is, and a 10% earnest money deposit (EMD) is required. However, creative financing options such as short-term owner financing or hard money loans may be available, making this project more accessible for serious buyers and investors.
Opportunities like this don’t come around often—bring your imagination and unlock the value in this hidden Herkimer gem today.
