This classic New Englander has a lot more living space than you might think if you just see it from the street! It's an opportunity for the investor, the ambitious DIYer, or anyone wanting to get into a single-family home at a relatively modest price in today's market and accomplish the upgrades over time, as it's being sold "as is." Located close to schools and Derryfield Park and just a short hop to the highway or downtown, it's a great spot to start your homeownership journey or house hack and rent a couple of rooms to friends. The first floor has lots of common living space, with a living room, eat-in kitchen, dining room, and a large screen porch; and the living room is currently set up as a fourth bedroom, but you could switch it back to expand that common space, so there is plenty of elbow room for everyone. The first floor bathroom was renovated about 8 years ago with ceramic tile floors and a tile shower so you won't need to swing a hammer in there. Upstairs the three bedroom are surprisingly spacious. The primary bedroom has two large closets, and while the third bedroom does not have a closet, there's certainly room to frame one out, and it has access to a large attic space which offers more storage potential. The roof was replaced around 2019, so you can take that off your renovation list as well. And surprise, surprise--the home has central air! Yes, it's older, but the furnace and a/c have been serviced every year. You also get a one-car garage and a modest yard so you can have a little garden without costing yourself too much time with yard work. If you have a vision, a tool belt, and time, you can definitely polish this into your very own gem. Or get your demo and construction crews in and out quickly and capture the upside of this spacious home!
