Large home in downtown Barre close to many amenities. The potential for a rentable apartment (at one time this home was configured as a duplex) adds to this home's appeal as it can help with income. The furnace is newer and this home is not in the flood zone. High ceilings and large rooms, many with hardwood floors. Some windows have been updated along with many sections of the roof. There is an active leak in roof over the porch, but other sections of roof seem to be in good condition. The outside siding may be asbestos tile. If you are looking for an investment property or a full-time residence you should check out this home with an incredible amount of potential.
