This 1900s Newenglander has all the charm of an old home — and all the problems, too. The siding is weathered, the plaster is falling, and the side porch needs some structural support. Inside, the air is heavy with age and emptiness. Wide-plank floors have lost their sheen, the kitchen is barely functional, and the plumbing and electrical systems are well past their prime. Past all that, there's bones. There's beautiful ornate trim detailing the doorways, true wooden doors and original hardware in nearly every room. It's a total gut job — but for the right buyer, it's a blank canvas with timeless character. With vision, hard work, and a love for restoration, this could be transformed into a warm, inviting home again — a true New England revival worth the effort.
