Cottage Charm on .40-Acre Lot — 3 Beds, New Roof
111 Sumner St is a practical value play in central Sylvester — a historic cottage offering approximately 1,450 square feet of living space on an unusually large 0.40-acre lot. The home retains original wood and hardwood floors in several rooms and combines functional living spaces with a flexible layout ready for modernization. A recent roof replacement addresses one of the major capital items, positioning the property for a straightforward renovation program or immediate rental placement.
Interior highlights include three bedrooms, one full bath, a working electric range, and an electric water heater. The footprint and room sizes provide room to reconfigure or expand living spaces; with modest upgrades to the kitchen and bath the home will compete with updated rentals and resale listings in the area. Public water and sewer service simplify ownership and reduce infrastructure risk.
Outside, the expansive lot is a standout feature: mature shade, ample yard for children or pets, space for a workshop or detached garage (subject to city setbacks), and room for gardening or outdoor entertaining. The property sits a short walk from downtown Sylvester and local parks, giving occupants quick access to everyday conveniences and community amenities.
This listing is ideal for investors seeking a low-entry rental with good gross yield potential, contractors or flippers who can add value through targeted improvements, and owner-occupants who want an affordable home with long-term upside. Schedule a walkthrough to assess renovation scope — the new roof and large lot materially reduce near-term capital needs and unlock a clear path to value creation.
