Porches, a Carriage House, and Work Ahead
Three covered porches and a rear carriage house distinguish 224 Main St in Theresa, New York, an 1869 home currently offered at $45,000. The listing records five bedrooms, one full bathroom, one half bathroom, and 2,880 square feet on 0.25 acres.
Exterior and Setting
Wood siding, a gravel driveway, and a detached carriage-house garage are documented, along with a large enclosed rear porch. The agent specifically warns visitors not to use the steps of either front porch, which are to be roped off for safety.
Interior and Layout
The first floor contains a kitchen, formal dining room, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, while four additional bedrooms and a half bathroom occupy the second floor. Hardwood and other flooring, a full basement, and replacement windows throughout are reported, although the windows’ installation date is not given.
Condition and Practical Considerations
The disclosed problems are substantial: there is no heat source, and the roof leaks and needs repair or replacement. The listing does not establish the extent of resulting damage or the condition of the foundation, wiring, plumbing, and carriage house.
Who Might Consider This Home
Someone prepared for a significant rehabilitation could appreciate the separate formal rooms, five-bedroom layout, and carriage house, with the heating, roof, and porch repairs central to any purchase decision.
