Description

Location, Location, Location! 3-Family just minutes to downtown, the commuter rail is less than 1/2 mile, shopping, dining and major routes. Bright, spacious units feature high ceilings, nice flow and eat-in kitchens. Current rents are well below market. Updating, all three units will enhance the value of each unit (buyers/agents to verify). Enjoy strong rental demand, low vacancy, 2 off-street parking spaces and separate gas and electric. Four additional attic rooms, accessed from the 2nd-floor unit, offer exciting potential for expanded living space or flexible use (buyers to confirm). All the trees around the property are being removed on 12/5 by the owner for insurance purposes. Heating systems and hot water heaters are approx. 6–10 years old with the exception of unit 51A, the furnace is older. Furnaces are serviced regularly.

    "Although I've only lived in wakefield 4 plus years,I'm still amazed at all the services that are here in my own town.A great walking town,a beautiful lake to picnic at , or fish or boat. there is always something going on around the lake during the summer and fall months.A farmers market.Some really great restaurants and bars to sit and sip while listening to some good music.Great Library.Shopping in town,or a short distance away. A great veterans park,and I believe that if you show respect to your local veterans you show character,and Wakefield does.Commuter Rail to Boston,and great local bus service.A lot of volunteer opportunities exist, or if you just want to blend in you can do that also.I just love my new home towm."
