Description
Bring your design ideas, roll up your sleeves, and fall in love with the classic charm of this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home! If you have been searching for a place with genuine character to customize (renovate) and make your own, this property offers incredible bones and classic details you just cannot find in a normal "flip". From the sunny enclosed front porch, step into a main level featuring wide wood trim, original hardwood floors, and a brick fireplace flanked by built in glass cabinetry. A dedicated formal dining room gives you plenty of space to stretch out and plan your ideal main floor layout. In the kitchen, elevated ceilings with a skylight and pantry (future powder room?) provide a solid foundation while you map out your dream culinary setup. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms feature original trim and original hardwood flooring waiting to be refinished to a shine. A full bath offers enough space for a dreamy spa-like retreat. As an added bonus, the expansive walk-up attic with exposed wood beams offers incredible potential for future expansion, whether you envision a creative studio, or extra storage. Outside, a deep paved driveway leads to a backyard framing a leafy tree canopy; a great backdrop for weekend barbecues, gardening, or relaxing outdoors. Yes, it needs love, but for a buyer ready to build sweat equity and craft a personalized sanctuary, this home is bursting with potential! Buyer resp for all town requirements. Sold AS IS.
