About 247 Central St
Contractors Special! Great location! A 1940 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1FP Bungalow needing work. The property of .47acres enjoys a sense of seclusion, as it's set back from the street, accessed via a right of way. Inside the home needs a complete makeover. Great opportunity to renovate it your way with the kitchen, walls & ceilings all in need of updating & repairs. The plumbing system & both bathrooms also require repairs & updating. House has Natural Gas. It is located a short distance from Hingham's quaint downtown w/its many shops, restaurants, waterfront, park & playing fields. The bus route & stops are on Central St, making commuting a breeze. The basement has taken in water during certain storms, but a reputable basement company has drafted a plan for reference for a potential buyer. Some updates have been done to the home include the heating system, hot water heater & roof. Town sewer hookup may be a possibility, in the street, but need MWRA approval. Buyer due diligence.
