Investors!! NEW ROOF MARCH 2025! This lovely depression era home looking for someone to restore it to it's original beauty and charm. The property is one of just a handful of homes on Forest Ave, a quiet, dead end cul-de-sac, off Blair Ave, in the heart of Middletown. When the current owner bought the property in 1993, the first room to the right as you enter was the main floor bedroom, and a large primary bedroom and 2nd bath had been added upstairs in the former attic space. There is a large living room with a big bay window, a formal dining room and a nice size kitchen. There's also a single car detached garage and concrete driveway for off street parking. PROPERTY BEING SOLD "AS IS", no warranties, no repairs. ALL SHOWINGS must be requested through Showing Time. AGENTS: Please see Agent Remarks for more information
