*** AWESOME STARTER HOME ***** Great home on double lot with many updates and an exterior yard that lives really big! Outdoor living space is extended by the concrete block patio, wood deck and enclosed yard. Three bedroom house with open floor plan. Town records show 2 bedrooms however there is a smaller third bedroom with enough space for a twin bed and bureau. The once used garage has been remodeled (but will need some work) and used as a summer accessory unit for guests -- complete with a bathroom, kitchenette, bedroom and living room and electric heat -- maybe good for studio or work-from-home unit but not legal in-law. Boat ramp and access to Norton Reservoir (end of street) for those gorgeous sunrise and sunsets - is situated with easy access to major highways and convenient to local commuter rail, town services, schools and shopping.roof 2011; water heater 2018; gas heating system 2014. House not perfect but will work for a special someone! EASY, easy, easy to access.
