What's special

Fantastic studio apt

Beautiful peaceful views of the woods and Deep River from this great 2-story/ hill ranch with many possibilities! Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street on over a quarter of an acre, this solid vintage fixer-upper is waiting for just the right buyer to give it some TLC and restore it to its natural beauty! Possible related living: lower level has its own living & kitchen area, 1/2 bath, and would make a fantastic studio apt! Upper level has full living quarters including 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, living room, & kitchen. This great property is being sold as is, and has a newer furnace & hot water heater, so some of the high ticket items have already been addressed for you. Calling all investors! Come and check it out!
