About 908 E Main St

I love a home with options don't you?! This cute cozy cottage is ideal for the first time buyer or the savvy investor looking for business zoning! This home lives large with a spacious family room featuring a dramatic vaulted wood & beamed ceiling highlighted by a two sided see thru gas fireplace and a large dining room addition! The home currently has one and a half baths on the first floor and one bedroom. There is a large 2nd floor bedroom as well. The 16 x 15 'new room' addition would make a nice sized Master bedroom or a generous new kitchen, or whatever you can imagine! The addition has a separate thermostat for the radiant heat in that room and a closet. This home might need a little TLC but the mechanicals have all been updated! The gas forced air furnace & central air were replaced in 2018, the roof & the water heater were replaced in 2019. The home has a partial basement and the laundry is currently in the basement along with a utility sink and a new sump pump added in 2024. The new garage door and opener with key pad entry was also added in 2024. There is an extra deep 2.5 car detached garage and large garden shed for additional storage space! The lovely lot has many mature trees and a beautiful little garden! Seller prefers to sell as-is.
