About This Home

As of March 2025

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED. Introducing 18 Muriel Ave. This home has been cherished by the same owner since 1973... now it's your turn. Lovingly cared for and maintained, this classic 4b /1b New England Cape offers all the charm you expect, with a few modern surprises. 1st floor features original hardwoods throughout. Plenty of sunshine, and room for everyone, in the front-facing living room. Eat-in kitchen features upgraded cabinets, with a shocking amount of storage space. In warmer months, serve meals al fresco on the screened-in porch. The backyard though, is the real gem. This completely flat, private oasis is the stuff of summertime dreams. Professionally landscaped, lovingly maintained, you'll want to stay outside forever (until it's cold, and then the fireplace will beckon you back inside.) Full basement offers plenty of opportunity. Newer furnace & central AC. Sprinkler system. Ideal location just moments to Wakefield Ctr. & lake Q, Commuter Rail, I-95, Lynnfield Commons.
