Property Description
Your Backyard Oasis Awaits!! Rare opportunity to own almost 2.5 acres in town, space like this simply doesn't come up often, whether you're dreaming of room to roam, a hobby farm, gardens, or just serious privacy. The big backyard is already set up for fun with an above-ground pool and playground in place, plus plenty of room left for gatherings, bonfires, or whatever you can imagine. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms (4 up, 1 down), more space than the assessor's records show, giving flexible options for a growing family, guests, or a home office. The home is also thoughtfully equipped with accessibility features: a ramp at the front deck, a handrail down the hallway, and a zero-entry shower. A few systems have already been taken care of for you: Solar panels are paid off, enjoy minimal heat bills; HVAC system is approximately 5 years old; Water heater replaced in 2022; Heated basement floors (not currently hooked up, ready for the next owner to activate); Water filtration system in place (not currently hooked up). This is a home that needs some TLC, and for the right buyer with vision, that's exactly the opportunity, a chance to build serious equity on a property with a rare lot size, bonus square footage, and built-in outdoor amenities most in-town properties simply don't offer. UPDATE - the cement slab and steps to the house in the back have been completed, the roof was inspected 10/27/26 and found no issues and one of the solar panels that is cracked is being replaced.
