Located near sidewalks and town conveniences, this spacious 2,434 sq ft home offers tremendous potential. The current owner began converting the property to a multi-family residence, making it ideal for investors or anyone ready to add sweat equity. Zoning requirements & approvals for multi-family use will need to be pursued through the zoning official. The first floor features a kitchen, large dining room, space for a bathroom, a welcoming front foyer, and two additional rooms that could serve as living areas or bedrooms. Upstairs, you'll find four rooms, a full bath, and a laundry area. The stone foundation basement with concrete floor provides excellent storage, and there's an unfinished back section of the house with the potential for more living space. Tax card indicates a half-bath but that room is currently gutted. The property includes a fenced yard, two paved parking areas, and is just a short walk to local amenities. Whether restored as a spacious single-family home or completed as a multi-family property, this home is a rare chance to create lasting value in a great location. Many years ago there was a hair salon located in the property - commercial use may be possible with special permitting from the Town. Sale is subject to Probate Approval.
