Situated on a corner lot exceeding 15,000 sq ft, this antique home is a true developer special and a blank canvas for those with vision. The property requires substantial renovation and will not qualify for conventional financing, making it best suited for cash buyers or renovation loan programs. Restore and reimagine the home into a stunning single-family residence, or explore the possibility of a two-family home (buyer to perform all due diligence). The generous lot size, prominent corner setting, and prime location offer exceptional upside. Ideally located near Cobb’s Corner and Canton Center, this property provides easy access to shopping, dining, commuter rail, and local amenities. A rare opportunity for builders, investors, or end-users to unlock value and create a custom home in one of Canton’s most convenient locations.
