Ideal for contractors, investors, or buyers seeking a substantial value-add project, this property offers a rare combination of prime location, land, and expansion potential. Set on an oversized wooded acre abutting the 126-acre Wildlands Trust Brockton Audubon Preserve, the site provides direct access to miles of established trails, mature landscaping, stonewalls, and a yard filled with wildlife. The circular drive and 2.5-car detached garage with overhead storage add functional appeal for equipment,tools, or project staging. Interior features include an oversized family room, two oversized bedrooms, and a first-floor bedroom with notable expansion possibilities. A newly renovated bathroom and a second recently updated bath offer a head start, while key system updates—boiler and oil tank replaced three years ago and a 2009 roof—provide important baseline improvements. Will need windows, modern kitchen, some exterior paint and an updated and refreshed interior. A standout feature is the three-season porch with a masonry fireplace overlooking the wooded lot, offering a unique architectural element to incorporate into a renovation plan. The property’s layout may offer possible ADU potential (either detached or attached), creating an opportunity for future flexibility or income-producing use. Located in Brockton’s desirable West Side near the Easton town line, the property provides commuter convenience with nearby highway access. This is a compelling project for those looking to build equity, create a custom design, or capitalize on a high-demand location with conservation land at the doorstep. Open House September 14-15-16 from 4-6 september 17 and 18 from 1 to 2. Any and all offers due Sept 21 by noon.
