Situated along Route 5 in the vibrant community of Wilder, Vermont, this classic New Englander home awaits the discerning buyer seeking an investment that pairs timeless charm with modern essentials. Set on a generous 0.8-acre lot, the property is enveloped by a backdrop of beautiful trees, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. The home features three cozy bedrooms, one bathroom, and some updates including a basement, relatively new roof and energy-efficient double-pane windows (but two). The large basement serves as a standout feature, offering clean, dry space with a high ceiling and a convenient walk-out to the property's lush backyard-a blank canvas teeming with possibilities. While the house itself requires a touch of love and some finishing works, rest assured, it stands on a sound structure, having been moved further back from the road and set over the basement. Located in the heart of the upper valley, the property affords quick and easy access to Hanover, Dartmouth College, DH-Medical Center, Norwich, and White River Junction, putting you within minutes of top-tier education, shopping, dining, and cultural events. This home offers an exceptional opportunity to enter a prestigious market, perfect for those who appreciate the potential for customization and are eager to bring their personal touch to this quintessential Vermont sanctuary. Here, you have the foundation to create the home of your dreams in one of New England's most sought-after locales.
