A rare Winchester opportunity under $1M, 258 Cross Street blends timeless character, meaningful updates, everyday function, and exciting long-term upside. Set on a level, fenced corner lot, this 4 bed, 2 bath Colonial offers the space buyers need today with the flexibility to evolve over time. Inside - hardwood floors, crown molding, arched openings, bay windows, and detailed trim add warmth, while the updated kitchen features stone counters, upgraded cabinetry, stainless appliances, gas cooking, and great natural light. Both full baths have been tastefully updated, including a larger bath with double vanity, tiled shower, and soaking tub. Four bedrooms on the upper levels create options for guests, office, fitness, hobbies, or future needs. Brand new AC, central heat, full basement with laundry/storage, patio, fenced yard, shed, and 4-car parking add real utility. Previously prepared conceptual expansion plans are available for review. Minutes from the iconic, and picturesque downtown. Rear vestibule is the perfect place for a 1st floor half bath (see attached rendering). Smaller upstairs bathroom could be converted to a 1/2 bath with stackable laundry or a dedicated laundry room (SEE ATTACHED RENDERINGS).
