I have a quaint 2 bedroom Ranch style home with 2 bedrooms
and 1 full bath. house at 178
College Farm Rd. listing number 71161030. The asking price is $254,900.
The house has a very
large foot print. (A homes foot print is the size of the overall foundation.) In
this area of Waltham,
finding a home with such a large foundation in this price range is challenging.
The rooms consist of entry 4 season front porch, large fire placed living room,
large dining room with built in cupboard, eat-in kitchen with access to
basement and back 3 season porch, 2 very large bedroom, and a semi- finished
basement. The home has, according to the owner, hardwood flooring under the
carpeting, a one car garage under and walk up attic.
The home will
require much needed TLC such as, paint, and decorating, windows, landscaping, updating
of bath and kitchen and a renovation of the basement. The home is in livable
condition and you can easily complete the work over time. I would suggest having
the hardwood floors refinished prior to moving in. Because of the overall size
of the house, I believe all money invested in this house, over time, could be
made back in equity. Waltham
housing market has always been strong with only small reductions in value even
in the worst economy. With all work completed on the house I could easily price
the house around $339,000. I do not think that would be unreasonable.
My seller is
motivated and is exited to find a buyer for her home. She has lived in the
house since it was first built.
If this home is in
your price range and you’re not scared to roll up you sleeves and get your
hands dirty this home may be what you are looking for.
Please contact me
personally if you have any interest.
