25 Crafton Rd, Essex, MD 21221

🔥 OFF-MARKET FLIP: Clean Cosmetic Reno with Big Upside — Essex

Welcome to 25 Crafton Rd, a property that smart investors will spot from a mile away. With 1,638 SQFT above grade, no basement, a 2BR/2BA layout, and major systems already updated, this home offers a fast path to market—no permit delays, no gut job, just clean execution and real margin. The best and highest use is a conversion back to 3 br, which should not be too challenging with an experienced GC/ crew.

The previous owner kept this place in good condition, and it shows. Most of the layout is functional and livable- with an updated kitchen and granite counters.  Now it’s your turn to modernize the look, boost the value, and make it shine.
