Some homes are finished. This one is full of possibility, in a location that can’t be built, only found. Set on a mature, tree-lined street in Meriden, a non-through street neighborhood, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial has the bones that matter. The rooms are generously proportioned, and seller believes the original hardwood floors wait beneath the carpet in the bedrooms. The layout flows from the formal living room to a sunny kitchen and den at the back of the house, a clear canvas for an open-concept reimagining. The baths, and finishes are original to the era, and the home is ready for a fresh vision. That’s the opportunity. Update at your own pace, choose your own palette, and build equity with every decision. It’s a rare chance to design a home around how you actually live. Outside, a level lot offers a partially fenced yard and a screened-in porch. A one-car garage and full basement add storage and further potential. The location does the heavy lifting. You’re close to restaurants, shops, parks, and trails, with easy access to major commuter routes and the Brandywine School District. For the buyer with a creative eye, a trusted contractor, or simply the patience to do it right, this is the one worth reimagining. The home is being sold 'as-is' as part of an estate. A home inspection, including WDI and radon inspections, has been completed and is available to buyer’s agents.
