What's special

Eat-in kitchenDining room

Opportunity Knocks! Affordable opportunity in the very bucolic and quiet Northville section of New Milford, yet a quick drive to all the amenities this Big Little Town has to offer! Beyond your backyard lies a cornfield, and your neighbors are spread out - yet close enough to wave hello every day. Inside you'll find a modest 2-bedroom, 1-full-bath Cape that currently lives like a one-level ranch, with two bedrooms, a full bath, living room, eat-in kitchen, and dining room. The yet-to-be-finished upper level is framed and ready for your creative finishing touches - think additional bedroom(s), a bath, or extra living space. The unfinished lower level offers interior access and a separate entrance through the attached 2-car garage, ideal for a private workspace or future expansion well apart from the main living area. Set on a very usable 1.24-acre lot and surrounded by hundreds of acres of farmland, this is your affordable entry point to make the homestead dream a reality!
