1715 N Garland Avenue, Fayetteville, AR, 1916 home with garage apartment for sale

TL;DR: To buy 1715 N Garland Avenue in Fayetteville, start by calling listing agent Cameron Torabi of Mason Capital Group at 479-925-3333 to confirm the home is available. Then review the listing package, verify entitlements with the City of Fayetteville and submit a written offer against the $750,000 asking price. The property is a 1916 four-bedroom home with a one-bedroom garage apartment.

What am I buying at 1715 N Garland Avenue, and what does $750,000 cover?

The listing offers a 1916-built home and its accompanying one-bedroom garage apartment on a 0.47-acre lot at $750,000.

The house has four bedrooms, 4.5 baths and 3,282 square feet. It sits on the N Garland Avenue (Highway 112) corridor, just north of the University of Arkansas. Current zoning is RSF-4, per the listing.

The listing presents the home and the apartment together under the one asking price. Confirm in the purchase contract exactly what conveys, and ask for that in writing before you offer.

What are the steps from first inquiry to closing?

The path has the same shape for most residential purchases, with two extra checks here because of the apartment and the corridor.

  1. Call 479-925-3333 and confirm the property is still available. Status changes, and the listing agent is the person who can confirm it.
  2. Ask for the offering summary and the listing details, then request a private showing.
  3. Decide how you intend to use it: as your residence, as a hold with the apartment, or as a longer-term position on the corridor. The use drives the diligence.
  4. Verify zoning, permitted uses and any redevelopment question directly with the City of Fayetteville, as the listing itself advises.
  5. Line up your lender, if you are financing, and your own attorney and tax advisor.
  6. Submit a written offer through the listing agent, with the terms you want stated plainly.
  7. Once the contract is signed, complete inspections, survey and title work, resolve what they find, and close.

Timing on each step depends on you, the seller, the lender and the title company. The listing gives no closing timeline, so ask each party for theirs.

What due diligence is specific to a 1916 home with a garage apartment?

Age, a second dwelling unit and a corridor under active public improvement are the three things that make this file different from an ordinary house purchase.

  • Condition. A 1916 structure deserves a full inspection by a qualified inspector, including the garage apartment as its own building. The listing makes no statement about systems or condition.
  • The apartment. The listing calls it a built-in secondary income stream. It prints no rent figure, so ask the seller for any lease or income records, and ask the city whether renting it is permitted at this address.
  • Survey and acreage. Order a survey so the lot size in your contract is the lot size on the ground.
  • Zoning and entitlements. Zoning is RSF-4 per the listing. The listing notes a rezoning next door and says buyers evaluating redevelopment should verify entitlement specifics directly with the City of Fayetteville. Treat that as a question to answer before you pay for anything beyond the inspection.
  • Highway 112 work. The listing mentions a widening and improvement program on the corridor. Ask the city how it touches this parcel's frontage and access.
  • Taxes, utilities and title. The listing gives none of these. Request them.

Consult your own attorney and tax advisor on the contract and on any tax question. Neither this article nor the listing agent gives tax or legal advice.

Does the listing say anything about financing?

The listing states no financing terms, no seller concessions and no lender requirements.

That means any financing conversation starts with your lender, not with the listing. Bring them the address, the 1916 build year and the garage apartment early, since a second dwelling can affect how a property is appraised and underwritten. Ask your lender how they treat it.

How does the listing agent help a buyer through the process?

Listing agent Cameron Torabi can walk a buyer through the listing, arrange the showing and carry the offer to the seller.
