Description

Excellent opportunity to build new construction or rehab existing structures. Location, location with lots of charm on a manicured lot! This cozy old-style home has 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, 2 full baths, lots of closet space, a wood-burning stove, and the quintessential spot for a study. The expansive backyard is fully fenced in, private, and abuts the Birch Rd neighborhood. Noted is the detached garage (as is), with a plethora of storage capabilities for hobby or personal use.

This cozy old-style home has 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, 2 full baths, lots of closet space, a wood-burning stove, and the quintessential spot for a study. The expansive backyard is fully fenced in, private, and abuts the Birch Rd neighborhood. Noted is the detached garage (as is), with a plethora of storage capabilities for hobby or personal use. More recent updates include 3 mini-split systems for AC (~2015), Roof (~2014), an updated electrical panel, 2nd-floor replacement windows (~2010), Gas Furnace (~2011), and Water Heater (2017). Centrally located with easy access to schools/playgrounds, major routes (9, 27,30, and Mass Pike), shopping (Stop & Shop Plaza), restaurants, stores, and services. The house needs updating but it will be well worth the investment and sweat equity. You can change a house, but not the location. Love Where You Live!
