Previous Description:
Rare Rebuild Opportunity in Sylvan Grove! Here is your chance to build a new home while potentially taking advantage of an existing foundation that has already been evaluated by a licensed Professional Engineer. The previous home on this approximately 0.31-acre lot was lost to a fire several years ago and removed, leaving the original foundation in place. In July 2025, a West Virginia licensed Professional Engineer inspected the existing foundation for reuse. According to the engineer’s written report, the fire appears to have barely affected the CMU block foundation, over 90% of the block is in good condition, and the concrete footings appear completely undamaged. The engineer recommended repointing a few areas of the CMU wall and redoing the center beam piers as needed for the new design. With those repairs, the engineer certified the foundation as structurally sound to build the proposed home on. Even better, a proposed floor plan has already been prepared to work with the existing foundation. The plan features an approximately 1,008 sq. ft. single-level ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an open kitchen/living area, primary bedroom with private bath, and utility space. Documentation regarding public water and public sewer availability is also available, giving the next owner a significant head start toward bringing this property back to life. Whether you’re a builder, investor, or buyer looking to create a brand-new home, this is an opportunity to start with more than just a vacant piece of land. Engineer’s report, proposed floor plan, foundation information, and utility documentation are available for review. Buyer to verify all information and satisfy themselves regarding current utility availability, permits, building requirements, foundation reuse, proposed plans, and any county or other applicable requirements.
