We Buy Houses in Oak Ridge, TN
No other market around here has housing like this. The 1940s cemesto "alphabet houses" — the A, B, C, and D plans in Woodland, Highland View, and Emory Valley — are everywhere, many still in original condition, and they are ideal candidates for a full-gut renovation by a contractor who has done one before.
Original-condition cemestos are the bulk of our Oak Ridge volume. They typically need everything at once, which is why owners have a hard time selling them any other way.
