Set on a sprawling 9-acre parcel, this classic Cape offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special. A true diamond in the rough, the home is ready for your vision and sweat equity to bring it back to life. A new septic system is already in place, providing a strong starting point for future improvements. Inside, the property is in need of significant TLC, and the condition of the heating and hot water systems is unknown—making this an ideal project for investors, contractors, or ambitious buyers looking to build equity. With expansive land, privacy, and endless potential, this is your chance to transform a hidden gem into your dream home or next successful project.
