About This Home
As of April 2025This 3-bedroom ranch-style home, featuring solar pannels, nestled on a deep corner lot, is ready for a fresh start. While it needs an overall rehab, it offers incredible potential to restore it to its original 1940s glory. This home presents a fantastic opportunity for investors or anyone seeking an alternative to condos or renting. Centrally located in Berlin, it's just a 2-hour drive to both New York City and Boston with easy highway access. The property is within close proximity to downtown, where you'll find an Amtrak train station and buses for convenient commuting. The area is brimming with small businesses, coffee shops, breweries, shopping, and restaurants to explore. Plus, the neighborhood boasts its very own park, adding to the charm and convenience of the location. HIGEST AND BEST BY 5 PM 3/23/25
