Listing broker remarks

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS! Handyman Special!!! Needs work, but well worth the effort! Fix up to live here, or fix and flip for profit - you decide! Colonial built in 1840 with large addition done in the 1980's (APO)! The 1st floor offers kitchen with dining area, off the entry hall is a family room, home office, etc, formal dining room is open to large living room offering fireplace with pellet stove insert and atrium door to backyard, 1st floor full bath, the 2nd level offers 4 bedrooms including large main bedroom which was part of the addition and offers a walk in closet, skylight and balcony accommodating a large window, there is a full basement, a barn, and a large flat backyard! The Seller is looking for a fast sale, and due to its condition, a CASH buyer or rehab loan, construction loan, etc. Property is being sold as-is, including any contents, the septic system is the Buyer's responsibility, etc. Even though this listing refers to the house as a handyman special, overall the property is in good condition, there's just lots and lots of deferred maintenance and updating needed. Occupied, overnight notice needed, private showings only!!!— ERA M Connie Laplante Real Estate
