## Description

### Agent Description
Charming cottage-style Colonial situated on TWO lots, offering plenty of outdoor space and endless potential! This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is ready for its next owner to make it their own. Hardwood flooring lies beneath the carpeting, just waiting to be uncovered and restored to its original beauty. Recently installed new roof in 2025, providing peace of mind for years to come. All appliances will stay with the home, making the move even easier. Enjoy the character and curb appeal of this classic home while adding your own personal touches. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or looking for a property with room to grow, this home is full of opportunity.
