Location, location, location! Close to the New Salem line, this older lady has good bones and an interesting back story (was a post office!) Recent updates to heating system (new Roth oil tank and forced hot air furnace 2021), well pump (2015), roof (2011), bath (2015) and Generac generator. Some elbow grease needed to restore this piece of history, as it will not qualify for FHA,VA, MassHousing. A great project! More pictures to come!
