Listing broker remarks

A renovated Colonial plus an additional buildable lot to be delivered with approvals before closing! Set on an approximately 0.58-acre corner parcel, 856 Newport Avenue offers the opportunity to purchase the home and a separate neighboring lot together. The home’s entrance is already on Slade Avenue, and the new lot is being designed for Slade Avenue access as well, giving both properties a side-street approach. The seller is working with an engineer and will deliver the required subdivision and buildable-lot approvals prior to closing.The home features a bright, open kitchen and dining area, a spacious living room, and a full bath on the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a second full bath, and a desk or study nook. Hardwood floors, newer kitchen cabinetry and appliances, central heat and air conditioning, and a partially finished basement add comfort and flexibility. Outside are a covered patio, wooded surroundings, four parking spaces, and a two-car detached garage. Public records show approximately 1,736 square feet above grade plus 572 square feet below grade. Convenient to I-95, shopping, dining, and the South Attleboro MBTA station. Proposed lot boundaries and access are subject to final approvals.
