About This Home

As of August 2025

A Midtown, move-in ready home you don't want to miss! This completely renovated home is just a short walk to Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Bakery, Fulton Farmer's Market, a butcher shop and award winning restaurants, bars, gym, dog park, and countless other amenities. The spacious kitchen includes modern glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, under mount lighting, and a huge pantry. The four bedrooms have uncommonly large closets with plenty of storage space. Entertain your friends and family on the patio or enjoy gardening in the raised planter beds in your completely fenced-in backyard. With newer windows, plumbing, electric, furnace and A/C, this is a nearly maintenance free home. Run, don't walk, because this house won't be available for long! Owner is licensed Realtor
