A short walk to the Pleasant River public boat launch, with a partial river view from inside the home. This 1,788 square foot Colonial in Addison was built in 1850 and sits on . 45 acres. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. The home shows only minor wear and tear for its age, nothing beyond what's typical for a house built in 1850. The basement is in great shape, well kept relative to homes of this era. Septic system and leach field were replaced in 2020, so that's one of the biggest-ticket items on an older home already handled. The river view is real but modest. Enough to see the water from the house, not an open, unobstructed waterfront outlook. Worth noting for buyers who want to be near the water without paying waterfront prices. Location puts you close enough to the boat launch to walk it, which matters if access to the Pleasant River is part of what you're looking for.
Stately home in the heart of Addison has been lived in minimally on a seasonal basis and is looking for a new owner who will love it back to its best self! Located just up the street from the Town Landing and Post Office. Stay cozy next to the wood stove or gaze out the living room windows at your water view. Beautiful, wide plank pumpkin pine floors add to the warmth of this home. Do your living and entertaining on the first floor with bedrooms on the second floor. Walk up third floor attic space provides an opportunity for an art studio or reading nook. .. it just takes a little elbow grease; perfect for storage now.
