Outside, the private backyard offers tons of potential for gardening, entertaining or simply enjoying small-town summer evenings. A two-car detached garage plus three additional sheds provide plenty of storage. And when July rolls around, you'll have a prime spot to enjoy Bussey's famous Fourth of July parade and festivities!?
Major updates include a roof replacement in 2012 and a new furnace in 2020, and all appliances will stay with the home.?
If you've been looking for an older home with warmth, space and a story to tell, 202 Merrill Street is a wonderful opportunity to put down roots and make it your own. Small-town living at its finest.?
Property is being sold as-is, excluding the sellers' personal possessions.
