The existing home requires substantial repairs and updating, but the potential upside is compelling. A rare opportunity to acquire two adjoining parcels and create something special in an established Martinez neighborhood! Property is being sold as-is. Buyer to independently verify square footage, parcel boundaries, zoning, and all expansion or development possibilities with the appropriate authorities.
