Built in 1766, this spacious, charming Cape is located on 6 acres of land. It abuts the scenic Squannacook River in the rear and the Squannacook River Trail Network on the left, with access to a swimming area. The property is in the process of being subdivided from an adjoining 4.86-acre parcel to its right (which is under agreement). The 1st floor includes a Living Room, Eat-In Kitchen, Dining Room off the Kitchen, Main Bedroom, Full Bath, small Office and step-down Family Room with wood stove. Upstairs consists of two large Bedrooms with dormers. There is evidence of water intrusion on the 2nd floor, likely due to structural roof issue. This property offers the opportunity to renovate/restore or start fresh. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and it includes a topographically interesting esker in the back. Re-routing the laundry plumbing to the septic tank will complete the Title 5 inspection. Sold in as-is condition; cash purchase or construction loan only.
