13 Morse Village Rd, Wendell, MA 01379

VCLT is facilitating the sale for the current lessee/owners of a one-bedroom , 825 square foot, converted antique (circa 1800) schoolhouse on a leasehold of 4+ acres at 13 Morse Village Road in Wendell, close to the town center, just below the town community gardens. Well and septic are in place. The septic passed Title V inspection around 2010. The land is largely overgrown with brush, mostly wooded with previous tornado damage to half, but there is ample space for a large garden area, with sufficient land for keeping a few small farm animals. There are remains of an old barn cellar hole on the property. The asking price is $43,000. Monthly lease fees are $100, and latest taxes are about $1530/yr. The buyer will own only the house and other "improvements" (such as well and septic system), but not the land, and the sales price of the home if they sell is limited to the appraised value of the home alone, which is how the current asking price was arrived at. See VCLT.org for more information. The lease requires that the home be occupied by the owner/lessee's or their immediate family at least six months a year. The house has been lived in on and off since the mid 90's, after a period of vacancy. The house recently benefited from extensive renovations. These improvements include updated plumbing and electrical services, the replacement of the siding on at least three sides of the dwelling and the installation of new doors and a bulkhead. The interior has been upgraded with maple and oak kitchen cabinetry, a new sink, fixtures and lighting. The bathroom has tile flooring, a pedestal sink and newer fixtures with a built-in medicine cabinet. The dwelling has been insulated and there is replaced trim and painted interior walls. There are exposed beams in several areas and high ceilings in the kitchen and living area. There is an open living room and kitchen area with a mix of maple and pine. The bedroom has been finished with pine flooring and custom trim. There is a rear utility room with plywood floor, unfinished drywall and a 40 gallon Bradford White electric hot water heater. We will be holding open houses, scheduled for Saturday May 19, 10am to 12pm, and Wednesday May 23, 6pm-8pm. No other showings. No commissions paid. We will also be hosting an informational meeting May 15, at Greenfield's Market in Greenfield, from 7:00-8:30 PM. update: We are in the process of selecting a buyer from our existing applicants. Please don't contact us about the house unless we list it as "for sale" rather than "pending".
