You'll want to see this extensively renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home only a short walk to the year-round happenings downtown Montague. Built in 1955 and set on a large double lot on a quiet street in the City of Montague, this gem has been brought back to life. It is updated, refreshed, cleaned, and move-in ready. The home has beautiful, original hardwood floors. The primary bedroom has an outstanding, fully-updated ensuite; hard to find in homes this age. Updates to the home within the last 2 months include a new roof with full tear-off, 7 new Jeld-Wen replacement windows with lower sashes that tilt in for cleaning, a new wi-fi compatible garage door opening system (motor and track), new LED light fixtures throughout main floor, and 4 new ceiling fans with lights and remotes. Both main floor bathrooms and the kitchen have new sinks and faucets; the ensuite bath has a new toilet. The kitchen and ensuite bath have new LVP flooring. The 3rd bedroom is currently set up as a large and convenient main floor laundry, but the washer/dryer could be moved to the basement freeing up this space as a dedicated bedroom or home office. The home's interior has been freshly painted throughout including trim, closets, interior & exterior doors, breezeway, and basement. PEX lines were added to the kitchen sink. Half of the full basement serves as a huge, finished rec room with carpet, paneling, lighting, and drop ceiling. The other half of the basement contains a half bath, mechanicals, a large utility sink with new copper lines and faucet, and lots of storage space. The front porch and railing have been freshly painted. 25 cu. ft. of cypress mulch was added to the front of the home. All appliances remain with the home. The underground sprinkling controls are outside at the back corner of the house and are currently capped off. The zones have to be manually turned on. The sprinkling system worked when seller's parents lived in the home but the system has not been utilized in many years. The sprinkler controls in the basement at the bottom of the stairs are not connected to the current sprinkling system. Included in the sale is a used Craftsman push mower, a fire-resistant safe in the basement (combination to be provided at closing) and dehumidifier. All improvements, except painting, were performed by licensed contractors. The split / stacked wood in the backyard is NOT included with the sale and will be removed prior to closing. The seller obtained the property through the family's estate. All information provided is to the best of the seller's knowledge; he has never lived in the home. Any buyer is responsible for performing their own due diligence. Listing agent is related to the seller.
