Beautiful 0.61 acres, renovated guest house/barn with kitchen, property already cleared, 4,532 square feet. Renovated guest house is 800 square feet. This is the original Charles Sherwood House, as in Sherwood Island, and the guest house/barn is where the original Merrill Lynch “bull” was designed by Walter Einsel, who owned the home and lived there at the time. The existing main house can be rehabilitated to its former glory if desired OR you can choose the plans already designed for the home by well-known architect Joseph Cugno. As long as the front elevation remains the same, you can also redesign the house to your liking. Buy it as one lot or any combination of the 4 already subdivided lots, including as one 3+ acre lot for up to $3,950,000. Each lot has been positioned for privacy and water lines, gas lines, electric service and sewer laterals on each lot installed and ready to serve each lot. There are 2 hook ups in place for #24; the house and guest house are separate. Walkable to Greens Farms Elementary, restaurants, shops and Starbucks. All buyers and builders are welcome! Call for plan details. No hearings required if using approved front elevation. Ready to go!
