With a little love, this could be a perfect house for a first time buyer or investor. Set on a residential neighborhood, but only a block away from downtown, you could walk to a cafe for breakfast or the corner store for milk. Right next door to the Bennington Recreation Center (indoor pool, sauna, gym, tennis & basketball courts) which is currently under construction for the expanded Head Start program. There's also a Community Garden where you can show off your skills, or simply enjoy your own backyard which is partially fenced. Detached garage & shed for storage. There is both a covered front porch and an enclosed 3-season rear porch. First floor has kitchen, dining and living room with white painted woodwork. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Some rooms have laminate floors hiding the original hardwood floors, which are in rough shape now but would look amazing if refinished by a professional. Basement has laundry hook-up and all utilities, including newer oil-fired boiler, newer hot water tank, and newer electrical panel, plus 220 plug for kiln. Slate roof on the main house, shingles on the porches, and low-maintenance aluminum siding. Town water & sewer. Comcast cable & high-speed internet available. Ready for you to add your own touches and move right in! NOT FOR RENT.
