Ready on River Road! Some properties stop you in your tracks - not because they're perfect, but because you can see exactly what they could become. This is one of those properties. Tucked along a quiet country road in one of New Milford's most desirable corridors, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath Cape sits on a level .81-acre lot just a short drive from town. Stone pillars mark the entrance, setting the tone for a property that has good bones, genuine character, and enormous upside for the right buyer. Inside, over 1,200 square feet of finished living space offers a comfortable, functional layout - main-level bedroom, wood-burning fireplace, sizable eat-in kitchen, and a formal dining room. The expansive rear deck and welcoming front porch extend your living space outdoors, perfect for lazy mornings and quiet evenings in the Connecticut countryside. But the real story is the potential. An additional 1,200+ square feet of unfinished lower level with garage access and a greenhouse awaits your vision - whether that's extra living space, a workshop, or something uniquely your own. For the aspiring gardener or hobby farmer, the level lot and greenhouse are a dream combination just waiting to be brought to life. A 2-car attached garage plus a detached 1-car garage round out a property that offers flexibility and function at every turn. Priced to reflect the opportunity, this is your chance to plant roots, build equity, and make something special in a town that people love to call home.
