They say the cardinal rule in real estate is to buy the lowest-priced home in the best neighborhood, and 221 Elm Street is that exact opportunity! Tucked away at the end of a quiet, low-traffic dead-end street near Watertown High, this solid 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home sits in a highly desirable location. The property features a nice, private backyard perfect for relaxing or outdoor enjoyment, along with an attached garage and a functional layout.
The home has been well-maintained over the years and offers great bones, but it is ready for its next owner to step in, modernize, and address some anticipated updates. The competitive price point directly reflects the opportunity for interior cosmetic refreshes—such as replacing the rear sliding glass door—as well as potential capital improvements down the line.
Whether you are an investor, contractor, or a buyer looking to build real sweat equity in a premier neighborhood, this property offers incredible upside and long-term potential. Schedule your showing today and bring your vision!
