Charming 1957 Cape Cod on Sprawling 2 Acres

Discover the timeless allure of this Cape Cod style home, nestled on a generous 2-acre plot with a scenic, flat landscape. Built in 1957, this residence is brimming with character, featuring original hardwood floors throughout the main level and a host of outbuildings that beckon for restoration.

The heart of this home retains its vintage charm that awaits your personal touch. While the interiors echo a bygone era, essential updates have been made where it counts; the HVAC system is recently replaced and the windows are updated.

Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the potential of the land, which includes several structures like an old 4-stall barn. With a little TLC, these could transform into functional spaces for horses, goats or other livestock.

Step outside to enjoy the serene views from the charming covered front porch or the spacious covered back deck, which offers a tranquil retreat backing to a wooded area. These outdoor living spaces provide the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining.

Note: Official records list this home as a 3-bedroom property, although it should be noted that the third bedroom does not include a closet.

Offered "as-is," this home is perfect for those who appreciate the charm of yesteryear and see the beauty in restoration. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of history and make it your own!
Experience the unique charm and endless possibilities this property has to offer.
Septic system currently being upgraded with new lines and a replacement distribution box.
