About This Home

As of February 2025

This has to be the most charming unit one could hope to find, tucked down a private way off of Essex Street, just a couple blocks from Central Sq. This home features Mexican tile in the living room, beautiful wide pine flooring in the kitchen, in-unit laundry, an updated bathroom and off-street deeded parking. Tons of fabulous built-ins, exposed brick walls, bead board and beamed ceilings, southern exposure and full windows. Though not a "true bedroom", the sleeping alcove, which fits a queen bed, is all you'll need. While only 474 sq ft, this unit is exceptionally well laid out and feels so much larger. Small association with both of the other units owner-occupied. This is the very best mix of charm and location!!!
