This ranch fixer upper in the town of Pierrepont, Colton Pierrepont School District, has already had all of the hard parts completed. The current owner has stripped the house down to the studs, opened up the low ceiling to reveal wonderful, vaulted ceilings, replaced floor joists, prepped slab for plumbing, reframed the interior walls and begun re-wiring and insulation. Additionally, a completely new 1,000 gal septic with leech field was installed, and the back yard graded out for final landscaping. All you need is to finalize the floor plan (proposed sketch in photos) and put the labor into rebuilding this sweet little ranch home on the corner lot at the intersection of the idyllic former one-room schoolhouse that is today the Cooks Corners Community School House, built in 1886. The garage was detached due to structural issues with breezeway and has currently been stabilized for next steps. Some of the house windows were replaced on the garage facing wall and new insulated doors installed. The main room, as you enter from mudroom, is lined with 2 temporary stud walls until structural beams are installed to allow for the vaulted ceiling, open concept design. This is a nice little, fixer upper at this price point for a 2 bed 2 bath with garage on 1.6-acre corner lot. Call an agent to schedule your showing today. The seller is excited to see someone bring this home to completion.

All you need is a vision and a dream! This is a 1.6 acre corner lot with a home in the Colton-Pierrepont School District on a quiet road in the town of Pierrepont. This location is the perfect place for raising a family or finding your own peace and quiet on a lovely country road. Maybe you are a handyman just looking for your next project; well this property is a project waiting to happen. Don't let the condition of the home keep you from considering the possibilities. At this price point this home is ideal for someone with the time and energy to restore it or use the location to create your own dream home. The home has been vacant for some time and is listed as "AS IS". The home sits on the corner of the Wilson and Orebed roads in the Town of Pierrepont across from the idyllic former one-room schoolhouse that is today the Cooks Corners Community School House, built in 1886. The home has a woodstove in the front sitting room, electric is on and there is a propane wall heater (unknown condition) in the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen is large with wood cabinets and a secondary storage room off the back of kitchen that might make a pantry or utility room. You step up into a living area to the left and then down the hallway is the extra large, full bathroom with laundry area and two bedrooms at end of the hall. Off the back of the house there is an open patio/deck (condition questionable). The garage is insulated and has a large additional storage room with a man door on the left side. The garage was built as detached and then a breezeway was modified from house to garage. Garage condition is still quite good and could likely be modified back to a standalone building if desired. Property was conveyed with a quitclaim deed in 2022. Taxes do not reflect STAR savings. Terms Cash/Seller Financing Available
