About This Home
As of October 2025PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Built in 1926 and cherished by the same family for over 60 years, this timeless Colonial blends classic charm with a highly desirable location near Preston Beach, Ware Pond, the Rail Trail and Hobbs Playground. The first floor features a fireplaced living room with beamed ceiling, a formal dining room with built-in China cabinets, a cheerful sunroom, and a brick-motif kitchen with breakfast nook and beamed ceilings. Upstairs, the second floor offers three generous sized bedrooms, a full bath and a sunny sitting area with two closets. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en suite bath with shower. On the third floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath with shower, and abundant eave storage. Hardwood floors, crown moldings, perennial gardens, and a large two-car garage complete this special property’s appeal. In need of some TLC, this property will be well worth your effort!
