443 Derby St

Opportunity awaits in this spacious New England home located in the heart of Brighton, with the Town of Brighton baseball fields just beyond your backyard, providing plenty of room for outdoor play and prime parking for local games. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Island Pond, you'll enjoy easy access to local shops, restaurants, and everyday amenities, as well as nearby VAST and VASA trail access for year-round outdoor recreation. Inside, the home features four bedrooms on the second floor, providing plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office. The main level offers a comfortable, open flow between the kitchen, dining room, and living room, along with a bright enclosed porch that's perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing with a good book. A propane heat stove adds warmth and character to the dining room, while recent energy efficiency improvements completed through the Vermont weatherization program include added insulation and a new propane boiler. Original tin ceilings remain in the kitchen, dining room, and living room above the existing drop ceilings, offering the potential to restore a classic period feature. Outside, you'll find an attached garage with a workshop area, multiple storage sheds, and a durable metal roof. While the home is ready for its next chapter and does need repairs and updating, it offers solid potential for buyers looking to build equity and make it their own. Property is best suited for cash or conventional financing.
