About this home
This little old house is waiting for an energetic person with some vision to convert it into an efficient and convenient home or rental property. This house needs total remodel with exception of some plumbing, which has been redone. Nestled near the center of Readsboro, it is a short walk to the school, general store, Readsboro Inn, and is on the bus route for easy transportation to Bennington or Wilmington. It has a shared water supply (Sheldon spring up on the mountain) and is on the town sewer. It is close to a recreational area on the river - just over on Tunnel Street. Skiing and snowmobiling are nearby for the winter as well as beautiful lakes and hiking for the summer. The price is right if you're ready for a project!!! Serious inquiries only - sold 'As Is', cash only, no contingencies. Please make an appointment to see the house - no 'sight unseen' offers. A 1,000 deposit and proof of funds are required with all offers, 50% owner financing for qualified buyers, no holds.
Just reduced to 21,900 for immediate sale!! This house needs total remodel - a good flip or sweat-equity project. Convenient to town, rental possibilities. For sale 'As Is', cash only. Call today!

Village District
The purpose of this district is to support the traditional role of the village as the focus of many of the economic, social and cultural activities of the Town, and to provide for residential development to serve the needs of the village and community. This district permits a broad range of retail and personal service shops, professional offices, and other supportive compatible commercial services. Industrial uses, while allowed, will require special review and consideration in order to insure compatibility with the commercial and residential uses in the district. Such development should maintain the traditional social and physical character and scale of the village and its historic and scenic resources, and should not exceed the capability of the lands, waters, services, or facilities to absorb such development.
