Packed with potential, this inviting home is perfect for first-time buyers or anyone ready to right-size. Nestled on 1.16 acres in a peaceful country setting, yet just minutes from I-93 and major shopping, it offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy a large, flat backyard ideal for gatherings, gardening, or just soaking in the quiet. A 20x10 screened-in porch makes the perfect spot to sip morning coffee or unwind on summer evenings. Inside, wide pine floors in the living room are waiting to shine again with a little love. The kitchen and dining area could be opened up with a carrying beam, creating an even more spacious feel. The bathroom has been tastefully updated with a new fiberglass shower and vanity. With Harvey windows, a Weil-McLain boiler, and architectural shingles, the essentials are in place-leaving you free to make the home your own. Downstairs, a walkout basement offers 960 sq ft of potential. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy den, a studio, or a playroom, this home is ready to grow with you. Showings begin at the open house Thurs., May 8th 5-6:30 PM. Additional open houses Sat., May 10th and Sun, May 11th 10:30-12 PM. Offer deadline Mon, May 12th at 2 PM.
