Description

This property has inspired a lot of curiosity over the years. It suffers from benign neglect everywhere; but its original grandeur, especially its prominent columned entry, reminiscent of a Southern Belle, can be gleaned under the overgrowth and peeling paint. Housed on a double lot which cannot be subdivided according to the town, this property screams to be rescued and restored. Buyers looking to restore an old home will be charmed, but will need access to a lot of cash to bring it to life.
16 Overlook Rd, Wakefield, MA 01880 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3,385 sqft single-family home in Greenwood, built in 1909. It last sold for $411,000 on Dec 10, 2012. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $1,132,600, with a rent estimate of $5,483/month.

    "Quiet area, friendly neighbors, suburban bordering on rural, not crowded, lots of small businesses, but no heavy industry. Lots of trees, nice homes and scenery. Easy access to major highways, lots of places to eat or shop, no crime, fire station nearby, prompt police response if needed, & good roads. Also, local bank has a Greenwood office, and you don't have to go far to find what you need. Just a nice environment to live in. Plus, rail service to Boston, and to points North as well."
