The Lawton Urban Homesteading Authority has put a fully renovated home on the market, sparking interest for potential homebuyers in the region. The single-family residence, located at 1914 NW Cherry Avenue, underwent a significant transformation courtesy of city-backed rehabilitation efforts. As reported by the City of Lawton's official website, the property is now up for grabs, featuring a listing price of $139,000.
Acquired in 2019 and subsequently renovated with HUD HOME Funds, the home's refurbishment wrapped up in September 2021. However, according to the same source, the city struggled with obtaining clear title, which delayed the sale beyond HUD's stipulated four-year window. The funds for the project, finally recovered in March 2023, completed a mandatory repayment to the HUD Project Jurisdiction Fund from the City's General Fund in December of the same year, according to the City of Lawton.
Broker Janis Ferguson-Craig of The Property Shoppe LLC Real Estate Brokerage is tasked with handling the listing. According to details provided by the City of Lawton, interested buyers can contact the brokerage directly or stop by their office at 1601 SW Park Ridge Blvd, Suite 201, Lawton, OK.
