Lovingly maintained for decades, this well-cared-for home is ready for its next chapter and offers an incredible opportunity to add your own personal style and updates. Featuring solid bones and timeless charm, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath with dual vanity, and hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpeting on the first floor just waiting to shine again. The lower level expands the living space with a cozy family room featuring a wood stove, creating the perfect spot to gather on chilly New England evenings. Outside, the spacious backyard provides an ideal setting for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors, while the back deck and storage shed add everyday convenience. Major updates include a brand new septic system installed this month, newer boiler, newer oil tank, and a roof approximately 10 years old, offering peace of mind for years to come. Conveniently located with easy access to Interstate 95, this is a fantastic opportunity to create your dream home.
