Handyman special in a prime neighborhood of beautiful homes! This classic Cape Cod sits on a stunning 1.26-acre lot and offers the perfect opportunity for a young buyer or savvy flipper. The home features a front-to-back living room with fireplace, a spacious dining room, and solid oak hardwood floors throughout. There's one small bedroom on the main floor and three large bedrooms upstairs. The oversized two-car garage is a standout, and the full basement is dry with great potential. The house is livable-recently vacated as the longtime owner moved to a nursing home-but needs heavy cosmetic updates. The roof appears newer; windows and furnace are older but functional. All carpeting is being removed, and a professional cleaning will follow. Showings are welcome immediately. This is your chance to transform a well-built home in a sought-after location. With good bones and a gorgeous lot, this property is ideal for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and unlock serious value. Home being sold as-is. Don't miss it!
