TWO PARCELS, ONE SALE. The purchase of this property includes both 17 Highland Avenue and 19 Highland Avenue in Anson, giving the new owner two separate parcels with different possibilities. 17 Highland Avenue includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath mobile home on approximately 0.12 acres. The home needs work, making it a good option for someone looking for a renovation project, investment property, or a chance to build equity. Right beside it, 19 Highland Avenue adds approximately 0.20 acres of buildable land with public water, public sewer, and electricity already existing. Instead of starting with completely raw land, much of the utility groundwork is already there for someone considering future development. Buy both together and decide what works for you.
