Property Description
Location Dreams are made of .... This 2 + story colonial is tucked alongside Sunken Road on the corner of Cornell Street. It is situated below UMW and you can sit on your porch and gaze upward to see the tops of the college buildings separated by a lovely greenspace. It offers 3 Bdrms , 1 Bath and a single detached garage that will accommodate one car. The home would be just right for starting out or downsizing or the professional who would like easy access to the commuter rail / university. The home has been occupied but does need a purchaser with vision to make it into the charming residence it deserves to be. It also provides a half cellar where the laundry is located and a standard laundry sink. The second floor leads to a walk up raftered Attic space that could be converted to an Owners Suite with full bath or a child's/teen private escape. Please do not be deterred by the need for paint and some renovation - this could truly be your perfect home. Conveys AS-IS.
