Description

This charming home is a grand slam! Enjoy the best of Worcester living with the excitement of Polar Park moments away and the tranquility of the Hadwen Arboretum directly across the street. Its proximity to Clark University makes it an excellent choice for an owner-occupant though it could also be a smart investment property, building on its recently successful 2.5-year rental history. The home itself has a huge 1st floor layout, featuring a kitchen with an island, dining room that walks out to a newer composite deck, and a spacious living room. The finished lower level adds valuable square footage and a full bath while the walk-up attic provides storage or a great space for a future project. Upstairs, the freshly painted BRs share a full bath… the main BR is huge! Outside, NEW landscaping adds picturesque beauty and the fenced yard (irrigated) provides private outdoor space not often found in the heart of the city. This is a property with both immediate appeal and long-term potential.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 30, 2025
