This classic family home, owned by the same family since it was built, presents a rare opportunity for buyers eager to make it their own. With hardwood floors throughout and a spacious living room featuring a fireplace, the home is rich in character and ready for its next chapter. Though in need of renovation, its strong bones and prime location make it a fantastic investment. Sitting on twice the land of neighboring properties, this home offers direct marsh access to a Long Island Sound estuary-a dream for nature lovers and coastal explorers. Plus, it's just a five-minute drive to the beach, offering easy access to the coastline for relaxing afternoons by the water. With four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, including a full bath and 2 bedrooms conveniently located on the main floor, the layout provides flexibility for modern living. The one-car attached garage adds to the home's convenience, while the roof, approximately 10 years old, offers peace of mind. Bring your vision and creativity-this home is brimming with potential to become something truly special! This property is being sold "as-is" and will likely not meet FHA/CHFA lending requirements. Great opportunity for investors or buyers utilizing renovation loans! Sale is subject to probate court approval.
