Opportunity knocks in New Canaan! Set on .33 acres in a convenient location close to the heart of town, 38 Urban Street offers an exciting opportunity for a buyer with vision. This three-bedroom ranch is ready for its next chapter and will require significant updating, but the possibilities are well worth exploring. For a first-time buyer willing to roll up their sleeves, this could be a chance to enter the New Canaan market, renovate over time, and create a home of their own. For those with a bigger vision, consider partnering with a builder or architect to explore renovation, expansion or redevelopment possibilities, subject to town approvals. The existing home features one-level living, a full unfinished basement and basement garage, all on a .33-acre parcel. The location adds tremendous appeal, with New Canaan's vibrant village, restaurants, shops and Metro-North train station nearby. Bring your contractor, your imagination and your vision. 38 Urban Street is ready for someone to see the possibilities and make it their own.
