Description

Huge price reduction! Investors/contractors take note. Rarely does an opportunity come along to purchase a home on one of the most sought after streets in Greenfield Hill at this price point. This storybook cape with newer wood shingle roof & copper gutters needs minor interior upgrades and exterior TLC (wood rot, painting, landscaping) to bring back its' splendor, and is priced with that in mind. Upstairs library also acts as additional guest space. Updated electrical, and Thermo Pride furnace....Huge price reduction! Investors/contractors take note. Rarely does an opportunity come along to purchase a home on one of the most sought after streets in Greenfield Hill at this price point. This storybook cape with newer wood shingle roof & copper gutters needs minor interior upgrades and exterior TLC (wood rot, painting, landscaping) to bring back its' splendor, and is priced with that in mind. Upstairs library also acts as additional guest space. Updated electrical, and Thermo Pride furnace. The bucolic setting of this charming home set among much larger estates, is one of a kind. This home is awaiting a new owner who can bring the house back to what it once was, and who understands the value of living on Old Academy Road.
