About This Home

As of October 2016

This charming East Terrace home defines "Move-In Ready!" Great floor plan with many updates including eat-in kitchen, master bath, windows and deck. Fresh paint, hardwood floors and full finished basement with family room and 4th bedroom. This home is very deceiving - lots of room inside. Curb appeal and a great fully-fenced backyard. Close to schools, parks, golf, pool, fitness center, tennis, town, train and beach. Not to be missed!
