384 Kent Rd, New Milford, CT 06776

FREE HOUSE! This property with 60' feet of Housatonic River direct waterfront is priced $20,000 below the appraised value of the land alone. According to Vision Appraisal, the company that provides data to the New Milford Tax Assessor, the land is worth $108,850. WHY FREE? This cozy 620 sq. ft. bungalow is a diamond in the rough with a sleeping porch, sleeping loft accessible via a spiral staircase and screened front porch to watch the river go by. It has a newer roof but evidence of the old roof leaking is apparent. The plumbing had a freeze-up and will need repair. The electricity works but will require some attention. The septic works but it's an older system and will need repair before too long. The wood/ coal stove works but the oil furnace needs repair or replacement. Crawl space gives access for plumbing, bracing and mechanicals needing attention. Because it is small, the work needed is doable by a handy owner or affordable if contracted out. Tranquil setting with 60 feet of direct river access for canoeing, kayaking, fishing or just enjoying the view from the large screened-in porch. Ten minutes to the New Milford Village Green, restaurants, shopping and movie theater. Lynn Deming Park is also near-by for Candlewood Lake beaching, boating and water sports. Can be occupied immediately after plumbing repair; owners expect to sell "as is." House can be razed and land still be good deal but ..unlikely to qualify for FHA or popular residential mortgage programs.
