PLEASE NOTE: This home is being sold strictly AS-IS. The seller will make no repairs or improvements. Buyers are responsible for all inspections, the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.), and any lender-required repairs. All inspections are for informational purposes only. Welcome to 285 Berry Street, a home filled with possibility and promise. Situated on a rare double lot, this property offers exceptional potential for expansion, customization, or future enhancement. The residence features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a finished basement, providing a comfortable layout with space to grow, gather, and create lasting memories.

Additional features include a large driveway and a deep, park-like backyard, enhancing both usability and future potential. This is a fantastic opportunity for a builder, investor, or buyer with vision. Square footage, lot size, and property dimensions are approximate and based on available records. Buyers and buyer’s agents should conduct their own due diligence and verify all measurements and property information. Seller must find suitable housing.
