A remarkable opportunity awaits at 221 Reed Street in the heart of historic Northville. Built in 1890 with an effective date on the public record of 1970, this character-rich home sits ready for a visionary buyer, investor, or contractor to step in and restore its original grandeur. If you are looking for a true renovation project with exceptional bones and generous scale, this property is the canvas you've been waiting for. The heart of the home features an expansive great room, approx. 32 x 26 feet in size, which includes a classic wood-burning fireplace, the ideal center for future gatherings and cozy evenings. The galley kitchen is well appointed, even though dated, with a double wall oven, electric cooktop, dishwasher and lots of cabinets and counter space. There is a nice-sized bathroom with a newer stall shower and closet area off the hallway between the kitchen and great room. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and one full bathroom with stairways at each end of the hallway. Both the full basement and attic space present endless options for storage, structural updates, or possible conversion into extra living areas. The house is wired for a whole-house generator so this would be a nice addition for the new owner to install. The hot water heater is approx. 6 years old, and the hot water boiler furnace approx. 13 years old. The rather long driveway leads to a detached garage offering valuable off-street parking, vehicle storage, or workshop space during and after your renovation. The rear yard is partially enclosed by a wooden privacy fence. This prime Adirondack foothills location puts you just moments from the Great Sacandaga Lake, local dining, boutique shopping, and year-round outdoor recreation. Walgreens, Tops, the Farm Store, Stewarts and others are only blocks away.
