About This Home

As of September 2020

Terrific value for END USERS or INVESTORS. Hyper-convenient location on Mass Ave w/ easy access to Route 2, Route 16, Alewife (.5 mile) & Davis Sq (.7 mile), shops, restaurants, parks & bike trail. The layout is fantastic, with an oversized master bedroom on 2nd floor and 2 additional bedrooms on the top floor. Home features a living room, dining, and family room all on 2nd floor as well as one recently renovated modern full bathroom w/ stackable washer/dryer. Newer hardwood flooring mixed w/ beautiful original wood and banisters gives the home a truly balanced feel. Other recent updates include interior paint throughout, back porch, back patio, fencing, and updated shared garden/yard space. On top of all that the home has a generously sized garage spot. Dry basement with 2013 boiler and window AC units. Higher HOA dues actually a BENEFIT: professionally managed, water, sewer, master insurance, studs-in insurance, landscaping, snow removal and strong reserves are included.
