**Reduced Price. Septic/Engineering plans in hand. **Town Center Colonial within walking distance to common, walking/biking trails, and other amenities. The home is in need of updating and repairs but it possesses charm and curb appeal. The main floor includes sun-filled rooms with high ceilings. Two staircases lead to 4 bedrooms on the second floor with a walk-up attic on the third. There is plenty of room in this home for a large or extended family. The property includes a fenced-in backyard with an in-ground pool. There is an attached three-car garage/barn or workshop. With some work, this home would be the showpiece of the entire neighborhood.
