This one is PERFECT for homesteading. Don't miss this opportunity to own THREE lots, totaling .53 acres. There is plenty of room to raise chickens, cultivate a garden and have enough space for whatever else your heart desires. This move-in ready home is very well built and well-insulated. The property has been intentionally and consistently maintained. Brand new electric fireplace with custom mantle adorns the living room. Eat-in kitchen features oak cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Moveable island allows flexibility in kitchen utility and configuration. Living area has original hard wood floors that were refinished in recent years. All three roofs (house, garage, shed) are less than 5 years old and in excellent condition. Newer HVAC units were serviced by professional HVAC technician every six months. The electrical system was extensively upgraded and brought up to code in 2024. You'll never be without power due to the whole-house Generac generator. The partially finished walk-out basement includes a canning kitchen ready for you to preserve your garden harvest. Detached oversized 2-car garage has a wood burner to allow for projects during the winter months and the large shed provides ample space for additional storage. Not to be outdone, the large covered deck, which includes lights and ceiling fans, provides comfortable outdoor living. While this property is quietly tucked away from busy roads, access to I-90, I-94, and the South Shore line is just minutes away for a convenient commute. So much potential awaits you.
