Property Description
**Here’s your opportunity to build some equity in a great South City location!** 5224 Potomac is ready for a new owner with the vision to take this home from fixer upper to the talk of the block.

For the buyer willing to put in the work, this is a chance to purchase in a desirable South City location and create your own value! The potential is here—the next chapter is yours to write! **Property is being sold AS IS and in its present condition. Seller will not provide inspections or agree to make repairs.
