Sweet two-bedroom (with expansion potential for a third) 1850s cape near Rockland's South End is walking distance to Jess' Market, downtown shops, restaurants, and the Rockland Harbor YMCA. Tucked away on a rarely used side street and backing up to a small protected wetland, the large, private, level yard offers a great space for gardening and recreation. It's also a wonderful place to sit and have your morning coffee while listening to birds and the occasional crowing from a rooster far off in the distance. The screened-in back porch is where you will happily spend your Spring and Summer. This home needs some soft renovation - painting, carpets, etc. and has room for expansion -- a nice opportunity for DIY first-time buyers or downsizers. The first-floor open floor plan makes the home feel larger than it is. The second-floor layout would benefit from the return of a removed back staircase and the addition of a shed dormer to create a third bedroom. Please note: The home sits next to a railroad track that is no longer in service. This property is being sold in 'As Is' condition- all inspections are for informational purposes only.
