Bring your vision to this Painted Lady Victorian overlooking downtown Orange! Set on a quarter-acre corner lot, this circa-1900 home blends period personality with practical updates and equity-building potential. Offering 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and approximately 1,484 square feet, the home features wood floors, distinctive trim, and inviting spaces ready for your personal touch. The updated country kitchen offers ample cabinetry, a breakfast peninsula, and a pantry, while a separate dining room provides space to gather. Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience, and all three bedrooms are upstairs. Newer replacement windows, oil-fired hot water baseboard heat, and a wood stove provide a combination of improvements and heating options. Enjoy an enclosed porch, a fenced yard with garden space, and off-street parking. Town water and sewer add convenience, while nearby downtown shops, parks, trails, and easy access to Route 2 keep you connected to the North Quabbin region and beyond. With updating and repairs still needed, this is an opportunity to roll up your sleeves, restore its charm, and make it your own. An equity builder for buyers who appreciate older homes and see the possibilities! Estate sale; property sold as is.
