About this home

Stunning long range views from this property. 1945 build with newer metal roof and vinyl siding. City water and sewer. Large kitchen with dining area. Owner recently painted interior and replaced flooring in bedroom and bathroom. Flexible square footage use. NOTE: Previous owner removed a wall between 2 bedrooms and made one large bedroom. Easily convert back to 2 bedrooms. Bonus room between living room and dining room has closet and was used as a bedroom by owner, but no window in that space. Back deck and covered front porch. 2 sheds. One wired. Unfinished dirt basement. Excellent opportunity to secure an affordable fixer upper home with large lot and stunning year round long range views. Per town of Canton zoning I spoke with, there is enough land to survey off an additional lot. Easy to do with water and sewer at street. Canton will allow an accessory dwelling if you want to keep one parcel. Structure must meet town of Canton guidelines and be no larger than 60% of primary home square footage. This lot really is special. Hemlock, views and blackberries lining back of lot. The home has been in same family 42 years. Stand alone oil heater in living room . So much space to garden or build. It's a rare setting. The home does need work and is priced accordingly. Easily convert back to 2 bedrooms
