The Key to Buying or Selling
Located at 262 Raffensberger Ave., this property presents a rare opportunity for an investor or ministry-minded buyer who understands both value and vision. Positioned on a corner lot in a quiet neighborhood on the east side of Springfield, this home offers flexibility, upside, and long-term potential. The home has good bones and all utilities are currently on, including heat, water, and electric. It was recently rented, making it a viable investment property from day one, while also offering the option to serve as a ministry home or parsonage. The layout includes two bedrooms upstairs, one full bathroom, and on the main level a kitchen, dining room, and living room. A basement provides additional space, ideal for storage or mechanical access. The property does need some TLC, including paint, flooring, and cosmetic updates, allowing the next owner to add value and tailor it to their vision. Whether you’re looking to renovate and hold, rent, or occupy, the fundamentals are already in place. What truly sets this opportunity apart is the bigger picture. An adjacent lot sits next to the home, and beyond that is a full church that can be purchased together or separately. The home is offered at $69,900, the church at $59,900, and the lot price is negotiable. This creates a unique chance to assemble a multi-parcel investment, develop the lot in the future, or establish a centralized ministry campus. With ample parking potential due to its corner location and proximity to the church and additional land, this property offers more than a house–it offers options. For the investor with foresight and the heart to serve, this is an opportunity where stewardship and strategy meet.
