6595 Main St, Westport, NY 12993

This house is a fixer-upper but a gem in the raw. Ongoing renovations have begun, and this home features one fully renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower and a large free-standing soaking bathtub. The second bathroom is in disrepair and must be remodelled entirely (but plumbing works). Two bedrooms are ready for use, and one large room on the main level must be remodelled: it requires Sheetrock patching, paint, and new flooring. The floor must be redone throughout the house (the upstairs can be sanded to a beautiful rustic finish, and the downstairs requires a new floor). The kitchen is large and needs a new coat of paint on its walls, either new cabinets or a coat of paint on the current installation, and new appliances (all appliances work, but they are outdated). The insulated two-car garage is built on a concrete slab but requires a power wash and new paint, and so does the house. This house needs much love and care, especially on the outside. Still, it is solid and conveniently located on Main Street within a minute of the train station, the Mill, and the fairgrounds. Downtown Westport, with coffee shops, the library, and the Marina, are all within walking distance or two minutes or less driving. While the house is located on Main Street, it features much privacy due to its large half-acre lot. The house is set back from the road, and one neighbour is a quiet church. There are no neighbours in the back (only a sizeable, unoccupied barn belonging to the neighbour on Eagle Street). This house is an incredible investment opportunity, designated historical and benefiting from tax incentives for renovation. The current owner (me) wanted to renovate it fully with a beautiful vision (see the new bathroom and a corner of the main floor's living room with lush paint) and turn it into a half-a-million dollar residence ready for short-term rentals or resale. Still, I am moving away and decided to let it go at a bargain for the right person with a vision and the desire to undertake massive renovations. The house is in good living condition, and you can renovate it while living inside. Heating is via fuel oil, baseboard heating cast iron radiators throughout the house, and a propane cooking stove: $ 133,000 or the best reasonable offer.
