Listing broker remarks

*OFFER DEADLINE MONDAY, 8/31 at 2pm. Please make offers good through 6pm on Tuesday for seller review.* 17 Chapel Street is a 2 bedroom ranch on a private, level 0.33-acre corner lot, cared for by the same owners since 1966. This home is ideal for first time buyers and downsizers alike. Hardwood flooring in the living room and bedrooms, plus a living room fireplace. The kitchen includes a wall oven, LG refrigerator and Bosch cooktop and dishwasher. The finished basement area is heated and has a workshop area and a laundry room with lots of storage, complete with a 2019 LG washer and dryer. There's a one-car attached garage and two outbuildings for extra storage. The back sun porch offers flexible cabinets that can be removed for a sunroom feel, or kept as-is for storage and kitchen overstock. The outdoor space is perfect for gardening, with established trees and shrubs creating more privacy than you would expect on a corner lot. Some cosmetic updates offer a chance to make this home your own, and contractors may want to explore the potential for adding a second story. Town water and sewer. Low-traffic setting with quick and easy access to Route 2 via Route 140, and less than a mile to Dunn Park and Pond.— Keller Williams Realty North Central
