About This Property

161 School Street in the village of Marion offers a rare opportunity to own a charming home on an exceptional .89-acre lot, set on a hill with mature trees, privacy, and room to breathe. Built in 1918, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath Cape blends timeless character with important updates, including public water, a water heater from 2021, a newer septic system (2007), upgraded electric (200 Amp), and fresh landscaping. Original oak hardwood floors and classic details preserve the home's century-old appeal in a peaceful hilltop setting. The oversized front bedroom offers a good-sized closet and views over the front and side yard, while the second bedroom is tucked quietly toward the back of the home. A deep two-car garage under the house and a spacious basement, accessible from both the interior and garage, provide excellent storage and functionality. Basement laundry is conveniently located just steps from the kitchen. Through the dining room is the roof deck, and there is a patio off the kitchen, where you can enjoy the secluded backyard with space to garden, entertain, or unwind. The .8 acre parcel offers potential for expansion, a workshop, or the opportunity to thoughtfully restore this special property to its original glory. Want country living without sacrificing convenience? Marion offers quiet winding roads, antique homes, larger lots, and a true New England village atmosphere; all while remaining close to shopping, dining, and highway access.
