Property details

About 431 Railroad St

Buyer financing fell through. This traditional farmhouse style home lives large, and is centrally located to charming downtown Chelsea. The home has been so nicely updated; fresh paint throughout, beautiful herringbone patterned ceramic tile flooring in the kitchen with freshly painted kitchen cabinets. The full bathroom has been completely gutted and updated with fresh white vanity, tub/shower and ceramic flooring. Original HWF in the front greeting room and family room which also has a great bay window. There's a small bedroom and a bonus room on the first floor that could be used as an office. Upstairs the primary bedroom is amply sized and has brand new carpeting. The yard is HUGE - nearly twice the size of a standard city lot and it's completely fenced, with a new compositedeck. One car garage. This home is a great option for first time home buyers.
