Charming 2-Bedroom Gem in Bridgewater – Incredible Investment Opportunity with Scenic Views
Discover the potential of this adorable 2-bedroom, 1.5 -bathroom "cutie" perched atop a gentle hill in the heart of Bridgewater. If you are a savvy investor, a dedicated DIY enthusiast, or a first-time buyer looking to build sweat equity, this property offers a unique blend of modern interior updates and high-reward projects that will significantly increase its market value. The Interior: Move-In Style Meets Smart Design
Step inside to find a home that feels fresh and inviting. The primary living spaces have been enhanced with newer flooring, providing a sleek, cohesive look that complements any decor. The floor plan is remarkably efficient and "nice," maximizing every square foot to create an airy, open feel. One of the standout features of this home is the versatile second-floor den. Tucked away from the main living area, this bonus space is perfect for a quiet home office, a cozy media room, or a creative studio. Its elevated position within the home ensures privacy and natural light.
Exterior & Curb Appeal: Living on the Hill
Set back from the road, the house sits on an elevated lot that offers a commanding view of the expansive front yard. This "hillside" positioning not only provides a sense of privacy and separation from the street but also offers picturesque views from the front windows. The yard itself provides ample space for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or future landscaping projects to further enhance the property's "cutie" status. The Opportunity: Value-Add Projects
This home is priced to reflect the need for specific utility updates, offering a golden opportunity to secure a property in a desirable area at a lower entry point. Plumbing: The property requires a new water line to be run from the street to the house.
Sewer: The existing sewer line needs to be cleared of a bit of gravel.
By addressing these core infrastructure needs, you are not just maintaining the home—you are investing in its long-term viability and significantly increasing its future resale value.
