INVESTMENT OR SWEAT EQUITY OPPORTUNITY - Classic New England Colonial on Route 139 is ready for updating / restoration.

Surprisingly spacious inside, with three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a large eat-in-kitchen, dining room, living room in front, sun room with semi-cathedral ceiling and skylights off the back, and first-floor laundry. Outside, the fenced yard boasts multiple mature trees for shade. The oil tank and water heater are newer (less than 2 years old per seller), but this home will need work and is priced accordingly.

Take a look, crunch the numbers, and make your best offer.— Advocate Realty Associates, Inc.
