About This Home
As of January 2025Your next project is here! Super convenient location for this Colonial with very close proximity to Downtown, the commuter rail, restaurants & shops, the library, the Y and the schools as well as easy access to the highways. The large living room, formal dining room with built-in, full spacious kitchen and one of the bedrooms are on the first floor. Two bedrooms and the renovated full bath with newer washer and dryer round out the second floor. The side three-season porch would make a nice place for a morning cup of coffee. High ceilings and big windows. Perhaps you are able to add on in the back and make it a bigger home or renovate it as is and make it your own-there are endless possibilities!! The heat was converted to gas in 2020 and the hot water tank was installed last year. The Sellers replaced the front stairs, had some foundation work done as well as some work to the retaining wall in the back. Large backyard, three off-street parking spots.
