Back on the market due to buyer financing! Investment opportunity in Leicester with nearly 2 acres, an existing home with renovation potential, and two additional potential building lots. Originally built across four lots, this property offers possibilities for investors, builders, or buyers looking to create long-term value. The two rear lots, each approximately one-half acre, offer potential for separate development with access from the road behind the property, allowing for access independent of the existing driveway. Buyer to verify buildability, access, utilities, septic suitability, and subdivision requirements.
Lovingly maintained by the same family for 38 years, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides a solid starting point for your vision, with hardwood floors, a generous living room, dining area, spacious kitchen, and adjoining family room. A newer roof and windows offer a head start on future improvements. The lower level includes a two-car garage, game room, and abundant storage, while a detached two-car garage and storage shed add flexibility for a workshop, hobbies, or equipment. Established flower gardens, a patio, and a fish pond enhance the setting. Explore renovating for resale, holding the home as a rental, or pursuing additional construction—the opportunity extends beyond the existing home.
