Listing broker remarks

Opportunity awaits this 4-bedroom, 1-bath home with a small side yard for its new owner. The first floor features a kitchen, living room, laundry room, and two bedrooms, along with a walk-up attic offering additional storage space. The second floor includes two more bedrooms and a bonus room, providing flexible living options. This property is ready for renovations, updates, and repairs and may not qualify for all types of financing. However, it offers outstanding value-add potential for investors, contractors, or owner-occupants looking to build equity. Off-street parking for two vehicles adds to the home's appeal. Ideally located in the heart of Athol, this home is just minutes from the YMCA, restaurants, shopping, and other local amenities.— Foster-Healey Real Estate
