About this House

Here's your second chance! Sale fell through because of a sale contingency on the other end falling apart! Owned by the same family for many years, this well maintained Mansard Colonial is now ready for new owners. First floor has a nice open floor plan, with high ceilings. Large eat in country kitchen with French doors to deck. Enclosed 23 foot long front porch. Second level has 2 or 3 bedrooms. Gas heat and cooking. Doublepane vinyl tilt in windows on second level, doublepane Andersen wood windows on first level. Built in hutch and a nice bow window in formal diningroom. Walk to commuter rail station to Boston and downtown Wakefield. Are you a walker or runner? Located right on the 5K loop around beautiful Lake Quannapowitt. Property needs some updating, but is in move in condition. So, work on it while you live there, and build your equity. Plenty of space on first level to add another bathroom. Nice yard.

    "More affordable than Winchester, Arlington, Lexington and the likes. But it is really a great town to live. The lake and park significantly contribute to the quality of life. A very child friendly, family oriented community but also a lot of young and active crowd. Good school system, great access to public transportation (train), and actually very conveniently located to access i-93 and I-95. Commute to the city is easier and shorter than some other towns closer to the city from sheer distance perspective. We are very happy that we left Arlington and moved to Wakefield. Nicer house, lower taxes and just better quality of life. "
