Unleash your creativity at 117 Hillside Ave! This charming two-bedroom Colonial presents a rare opportunity for contractors, investors, or savvy buyers looking to build immediate equity through renovation. The home features a classic and functional layout, including a welcoming living room, a formal dining room, and a kitchen area just waiting for a modern transformation. The true standout of this property is the expansive 40 x 189 deep parcel. This oversized lot provides a massive 7,500+ square foot canvas to design your dream backyard, whether you envision a lush garden, a professional outdoor kitchen, or a significant home expansion.
