2 homes for the price of 1! Corner lot property with 1.34 acres between Wilton and Bennett. The property features a 1916 Sears Catalog Home with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a new septic system. This home is currently uninhabitable and will need a lot of TLC to bring it back to its original glory. The second home was built in 1975 on a poured foundation, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, new septic and a car port. This home is ready to move into and live in while you complete the work on the main house. Well is used for both homes and was replaced in 1986 and the furnace, water heater and electrical service were replaced on the smaller home in 2024. There will be an easement created to use the South Driveway to access your property. 2 new septic systems in May 2026.
