Investors and handy buyers, take notice! This spacious Colonial offers tremendous potential for those looking to bring new life to a home filled with character and original charm. While the property needs work, the possibilities make it well worth the effort. The first floor features a large, open layout with a spacious living room, family room, and dining room with built-ins. The eat-in kitchen offers ample space, a pantry, and laundry hookups. Beautiful hardwood floors, original details, and ceilings approximately 9 feet high throughout most of the home add to its appeal. A large foyer leads to the second floor, which offers three bedrooms and a full bath. The finished walk-up attic provides two additional bedrooms and a large closet. Most first-floor windows have been replaced, and the hot water heater is approximately five years old. The seller believes the roof is less than 15 years old. The basement includes a toilet that could be enclosed for added privacy. Outside, enjoy a welcoming front porch, sidewalks, a detached two-car garage, and an attached shed. A great opportunity to restore and customize a spacious home with plenty of potential. Subject to probate court approval. Property sold AS IS, with all remaining contents to convey. HIGHEST AND BEST BY SUNDAY 10/18 AT 8PM.
