Under $200K on Nearly an Acre: Why 3049 Egleston Ave Stands Out in Genesee County

In my decades of real estate experience, I have rarely seen a property that checks so many boxes for first-time buyers at this price point. 3049 Egleston Ave in Flint is listed at $189,000, and here is what you get: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,532 square feet, a five-car detached garage, a heated studio outbuilding, and nearly a full acre of wooded property backing to Kearsley Creek. In a market where most starter homes sit on quarter-acre lots, this one stands out.

I am Rob Moen, Team Leader of The Moen Group and Managing Broker for Keller Williams First. My team and I have helped thousands of buyers across Genesee County find homes that work for their lives and their budgets. When a property like this comes on the market, I make it a priority to tell people about it before it is gone.

What You Get for $189,000

Let me walk you through the features that make 3049 Egleston Ave a rare find in today's market:

• 0.87 acres of wooded property backing to Kearsley Creek. You get privacy, mature trees, and water frontage on a creek that flows through the back of the lot. There is a deck overlooking the water, a fire pit, a chicken coop, a playset, and a natural gas grill, all included.
• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,532 square feet. The Cape Cod layout features a vaulted primary suite with skylights and a walk-in closet. The lower level has a finished rec room with an egress window.
• A five-car detached garage. Yes, five cars. With two garage doors, there is room for vehicles, a workshop, boats, ATVs, or anything else you need to store. This is the kind of space that car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and homeowners with toys dream about.
• A heated and insulated studio outbuilding with a loft. The previous owner used it as a home gym. You could make it a workshop, a creative studio, a home office, or an extra guest space. The possibilities are wide open.
• All appliances included: refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer. Plus immediate possession at closing. You can move in and start enjoying it right away.

Why This Property Stands Out in Genesee County

I want to be straightforward with you: homes under $200,000 on nearly an acre do not come around often. When they do, they typically need major work. 3049 Egleston Ave is move-in ready with natural gas forced-air heat, public sewer, and a solid Cape Cod layout. Here is why I believe this property is special:

• The land. Nearly an acre with creek frontage is rare at any price in Genesee County. At $189,000, it is exceptional. You get a wooded, private setting with water views from your deck.
• The garage and studio. A five-car garage plus a heated outbuilding gives you room to spread out that you will not find in a typical starter home. Whether you need workshop space, storage, or a place to pursue your hobbies, this property delivers.
• Kearsley Community Schools. The property is served by Kearsley Community Schools, a district known for its academic innovation and strong community programs. Buying in a good school district protects your investment over the long term.
• Immediate possession. You can close and move in. No waiting for construction, no renovation timeline. The home is ready for you.

A Lifestyle Worth Considering

Beyond the numbers, this property offers a lifestyle that is hard to replicate. Imagine having your morning coffee on a deck overlooking the creek, with mature trees all around you. A fire pit for summer evenings. A chicken coop if you want fresh eggs. A playset for the kids. A five-car garage for your vehicles and projects. A studio outbuilding for your gym, your art, or your workshop.

This is not a cookie-cutter subdivision lot. This is nearly an acre of wooded privacy in a quiet, established neighborhood, and it is available for less than $200,000. That combination is simply hard to find.
