This versatile and private property on 3 floors plus basement has had a commercial variance. It's on approximately 7 acres in North Dighton abutting Rehoboth and Somerset MA in a country setting with rare mature plantings. It is located under 30 minutes from Providence and about 45 minutes from Boston. Two miles down the street is the Taunton Watershed with access for boats and kayaks.
Location is exit 10 off route 24 from the east or from the west take a right off route 44 at Burt Street (Williams Street is named Burt at that end) near Manheim Auto and Willy J's.
This can be a single family or apartment rentals. Presently there are 7 one bedroom units, but the house was constructed by a wealthy Bostonian as a single family with servants quarters on the 3rd floor and billards parlor in the basement. It's easy to convert back to a single family house with guest units by removing the sheetrock walls which were added. It is known locally as the Dighton Manor.
Two houses... a manor house and a guest chalet are on the property.... plus additional outbuildings in the form of garages and workshop. The property had a commercial variance and that may still be in place. It has many appealing options in this setting to pay down a mortgage while living in a beautiful country area. Existing buildings on the property can be expanded. There is expandable space above a huge 3,000 square ft workshop/garage and also above a 4 car garage,both presently unused 2nd floors.
Condo paperwork is drawn up and goes with the property if someone wants to go that route. Other potential options include B&B, small farm, winery, horse farm, Xmas tree farm, or simply a single family manor home. A prior owner in the late 1970's built the garage/workshop in back for restoring and housing antique cars. An owner prior to him used the manor house as a nursing home which subsequently was moved across the street.
Presently the 6 charming one bedroom units in the big house average about 3 to 4 huge rooms each; the bedroom chalet is across the circular drive from the manor house. Both houses have much character and were built with quality construction. Enjoy massive fieldstone fireplaces, brick fireplaces, sunrooms, sunporches, gorgeous original woodwork, marble and brass octopus shower etc.
Utilities, roof, mechanicals have all been updated. Utilities are still on a single system to enable converting the house back to a single family. Or utilities can be included in the maintenance fee if you go with condos. Tenants have split the utilities in the past, so there is that option
