Listing broker remarks

Here is YOUR opportunity to own a piece of Randolph history. This 2-bedroom home that has stood since 1779 is full of genuine period character from wide plank flooring to authentic historic detail rarely found in homes today. Located 1/3 of a mile from the commuter rail, it offers a comparatively easy commute into Boston while maintaining small town charm right outside your door. The kitchen boasts generous cabinetry and storage while the full bathroom features a walk-in shower. A bonus room on the second floor adds flexible space ideally suited for a home office, studio, or guest area. Being sold as is, this home offers potential for an owner who is handy or anyone with a creative vision for modernization and personalization. The kitchen’s low ceiling height is a nod to its 18th century roots, adding to the home’s authentic, storied charm. The driveway is shared at the entrance, opening up to about 3 parking spaces directly in back of the house. A detached garage/carriage house opens the door to exciting possibilities whether it be a workshop, studio, or creative flex space all your own. Set on 2/3 of an acre, the lot offers room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy quiet, tranquil outdoor space rare to the area. Major systems have been updated including a new roof in 2018, heating system in 2019, central air in 2019, and water heater in 2023. This is a rare opportunity to blend timeless charm with everyday comfort. This home is ready to be shaped into whatever you envision.— LAER Realty Partners
