Property Description
Opportunity and character come together in this 1840 home set on 2.03 acres in Putnam. Rich with charm, the home features wide board flooring, built-ins in both the living and dining rooms, and butcher block countertops that bring warmth to the space. The layout includes a quarter bath on the main level and three bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. A spacious enclosed breezeway creates a flexible living area with its own feel-offering potential for an in-law arrangement, home office, or additional living space. A covered front porch, back deck and attached one-car garage add to the home’s functionality and appeal. While cosmetic updates are needed, the bones, space, and setting offer incredible potential for the right buyer to restore and make it their own. Newer water heater already in place. Property is best suited for cash, rehab financing, or possibly conventional financing.
