About this House

They don't make lots like this anymore. At 10,000+ SF, notably large for the neighborhood, this 1920 classic gives you what most listings can't: real land, in a desirable neighborhood, just minutes from Route 93. Lovingly maintained, with roof, heating, and electrical all in good shape. Inside, hardwood gleams throughout, a pellet stove keeps the living room warm all winter, and a sun-drenched bonus room is the seat everyone will fight over. Upstairs you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms, each offering huge closets and sharing a full bathroom. The walk-out lower level adds a half-bath and opens straight onto a level, fully fenced private backyard, with raised garden beds. Rooftop solar panels help keep energy costs impressively low and out front you’ll find a covered front porch, paved driveway and on-street parking. Lots like this rarely come up here, see it before someone else does!
