INVESTORS & CONTRACTORS - A RARE OPPORTUNITY AWAITS. Step into the past with this 1799-built home, beautifully sited on a secluded, level 2.18-acre lot that features a peaceful spring-fed pond with culverts in and out, and over 1,000 acres of preserved land directly behind the property offering remarkable privacy and a peaceful backdrop that will remain for years to come. The home offers 3 bedrooms with classic wide-board floors, 2 full baths, a 2-car detached garage, and a large, character-filled barn. Mechanical systems have been well-maintained, providing a solid foundation for the next chapter. While the home requires significant renovation, including a new roof and replacement of the basement stairs, it presents a strong canvas for those with vision and skill. Access to the basement is via the Bilco doors on the driveway side only. This is a true project property with exceptional land, privacy, and authentic historic charm. The house itself is not on the Historic Registry; however, the barn may be. Buyers are encouraged to perform due diligence. For the right buyer, this is a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a special property, breathing new life into a home with timeless character and an extraordinary setting. Sellers are open to all realistic offers. Cash, an FHA 203K Loan, or a Renovation Loan would be the ideal way to purchase this property. The previous owner was granted a variance by the Town to keep one horse on the property, and the variance was recorded on 7/19/2016, according to documents provided by the seller.
