This offering is as much about opportunity as it is about the home itself. Included is an adjacent 1.5-acre building lot with Board of Health approval for a four-bedroom residence—creating flexibility for future investment, resale, or a multi-generational setup. Paired with it is a 1950s Sears & Roebuck home that… Read More arrived in pieces on a train car over 70 years ago, now thoughtfully reimagined to honor its roots while embracing a clean, modern vibe. A full renovation in 2021 stripped away the dated layers and rebuilt the home into something that feels both intentional and enduring—inside and out, completely finished. From the moment you step inside, the feeling is immediate: familiar, settled, and easy. Vaulted ceilings lift the main living spaces, while original hardwood floors bring warmth and continuity. A fireplace anchors the living area, and the enclosed four-season porch extends the home in a way that feels natural, not added on. Every space flows with purpose, creating a layout that lives effortlessly. Set on 1.5 acres, the property opens up in all the right ways. The fenced backyard reads like a private park—mature trees overhead, a deck ready for grilling, and a fire pit area that invites gathering year-round. The detached two-car garage includes workshop space, and a charming outbuilding offers flexibility as a playhouse or garden shed. Behind the scenes, everything has been addressed—roof, windows, and efficient heat pump split systems mean comfort without compromise. The full basement is clean, dry, and well-organized, with laundry and updated mechanicals. This is what turnkey is supposed to feel like: a home with history, brought fully forward—paired with the kind of flexibility that’s increasingly hard to find. Read Less
