Description

Looking for a starter home and willing to put in some sweat equity? Or looking to downsize and have the resources to throw at a renovation? This 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 736 square foot, bungalow built in 1945 may just be what you have been waiting for. It's a project no doubt but one that is manageable. It's being sold as is, but it has strong bones and working mechanical systems. There are hardwood floors throughout and the original fixtures and details are charming. There is an attached 1 car garage, and it sits on a small, easy to maintain .25 acre lot. It still has the original slate roof which can last 100+ years when maintained and its clad with aluminum siding which is in great condition. The electrical system looks to be original as it's still on fuses, so that will definitely need to b e upgraded unless you don't use any electronics. Above the garage is an extra room with a non functioning half bath. The seller believes this could be resurrected by replacing the waste line to the toilet. There is a large attic for storage and a full unfinished basement with a large stone double utility sink and laundry hook ups. All but 4 of the windows have been replaced at some point in time and are double paned insulated glass windows. This house has so much potential!! FHA may not work due to chipped and peeling paint on the original windows, but an FHA 203K renovation loan would work and is a great way to fund the needed electrical upgrade and other renovations. The location is excellent, sitting on the Village of Chatham and Ghent line in a great neighborhood, you are a block from the fairgrounds. And there are sidewalks all the way to Hudson Ave, Chatham schools, and Main Street shops and restaurants should you feel the urge to walk to dinner and movie. Enjoy the village lifestyle without the village taxes!
