This mid-century brick rancher sits on '±2.14 acres. The main level has a living room with an expansive bay window and propane fireplace (needs repair) with hearth and mantle. The home's western exposure floods the living room with afternoon light. Adjoining the living room is a dining space with a chandelier, chair rail, and sliding glass doors to the rear deck. Next to the dining room is a roomy kitchen, providing access to the rear yard, a small breakfast nook, and a separate mudroom with entry to the garage. Down the hall is the primary bedroom with a spacious ensuite bath, along with a second bedroom, and a full bath. If you love the colorful kitsch of mid-century bathroom tiles and fixtures, there is a lot to love in this home. The main floor has been freshly painted, and the carpet has been removed to expose the original hardwood. Some windows have been updated, though most are original. The lower level is fully finished, and features a family room with fireplace (not operational; chimney needs repair), three additional bedrooms (though one is very small), a full bath, laundry room, storage and furnace room. The basement level is a walk-out, with sliding glass doors to the rear yard. The deck needs repairs, so we kindly request that buyers avoid walking out on it -- just to be safe. There is currently no propane service at the property. The home has central air and oil-fired boiler heat. In the laundry room there is a sump pump, dehumidifier, electric water heater, and a visible French drain. The seller has limited knowledge about the property and welcomes buyers to undertake a full inspection. The property will be sold as is. The seller makes no representation regarding condition, zoning, or use. Buyers should address any issues during the study period. There is no option to lease. To tour the property, please call your real estate professional, who can book a tour at your convenience. ** Updated sewer information 9.9.24: Verified with the state that the home is connected to public sewer. However, there is a waste water lift station on the property; it is evidently required because the home's sewer line is too far underground to utilize gravity flow. When the lift station needs to transfer waste water, an indicator light will show, advising the home owner that it is time to schedule a sanitation/septic company truck to pump out the lift station. The last time this service was performed was Feb 2023, at a cost of $313.
