Builders and Investors take notice. Great opportunity lies on this beautiful, level .80 acre lot in desirable Cochituate Village. This property contains 3 buildings - a single family home and two detached garages. The home has an oil tank for heat, but also has a natural gas line from the street which served the gas range & gas dryer. A terrific commuter location and a short stroll by sidewalk to nearby shops/restaurants. Consult with building department on any plans. Cochituate Village is not an historic district. Wayland does not have a Demolition Delay Bylaw. Wooded areas surround the property including town protected land to the east. Septic has not been inspected and is Buyer responsibility. Seller seeking a cash offer with no contingencies. House and garages have been cleared of all personal property. Entire property being sold "As Is" . Easy to show. Appointment Required.

Currently it is not a livable property, it needs a lot of work, this is why is being sold AS-IS.
It has potential once it is renovated.
Located on a quiet area and not far from Shops and Restaurants
