For residential use, it could serve as a single-family or two-family home. As it lies within the Guilford Green Zone, there are also possibilities for commercial use. In each case, this property provides a rare opportunity for the new owner to enjoy all that the vibrant center of Guilford has to offer. Built in 1926, and comprising over 1,800 square feet of living space, the property is served by city water and is currently heated with oil. Presently there are kitchens on the first floor, and second floors (no appliances). Recent improvements include a new roof (2019) and exterior paint. The rear yard is quite deep and offers space for outdoor entertaining, as well as the possibility of additional parking. Owner-occupants, as well as investors, will appreciate all that this location has to offer: the myriad shops, boutiques and restaurants on the Green, as well as The Guilford Free Library, Jacob's Beach & Park, and the train station are all nearby. This property is being offered "As Is", with pre-listing inspections provided to interested buyers, that include structural, pest, radon and septic reports. Opportunity is knocking.
