About this home

Outstanding opportunity to buy In-Town Victorian style home that has good structure and much of its original woodwork intact. 4 very nice sized bedrooms, plus a bath and a half. Open front porch is fantastic accent, there is a back deck, and over-sized barn style garage offers additional possibilities. Roof replaced 14 years ago, some old interior water damage remains. All replacement windows. Buyer may want to preserve birch kitchen cabinetry. House does need significant upgrades and renovation, including replacement of knob & tube wiring, boiler, exterior and interior improvements. For the location of walking to and from Main Street, or along to Peace Dale Village, the effort is well worth it! A stately home in its own right with incredible potential.
