DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH accurately describes this sought after location and good bones home. Once upon a time it had a lush lawn with living spaces outdoors beautifully groomed, well maintained inside and out with a babbling brook right out back, waiting for someone to fall in love and restore its former graces and charm. It had a detached two car garage that has been removed due to fire. Garage pad remains for possible rebuild, have to confirm with town. Please do not drive or walk all the way to end of driveway as there is a drop off- Town has given this home a c/o once again. Easy to show. A little effort will bring this lovely home back to life! Floor plan has full baths on each floor and bedrooms on each floor as well. Possible to finish small space in basement if desired.
