Good things come in small packages! This sweet Dutch colonial sits on a corner lot, surrounded by many larger homes and close to the Lexington line and the start of the Minuteman Bike Way! Step inside and be pleasantly surprised at how cute and updated this home is!! Recessed lights fill the living room with light, as do the eastern facing windows. Beyond is the dining room with cool shiplap wall feature and French doors out to the awesome fenced yard, where you will love hanging on the deck, patio or relaxing in the hot tub! Back inside, you will be pleased to find the nicely updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, and updated full bath. Live in comfort with newer gas heat and mini-splits for AC! There is a bonus bathroom with a shower in the basement as well. Here is your chance to call the sweet town of Bedford your home!
Sweet house, sweet price! Here is your chance to get into Bedford. Top schools, easy commute! This house is charming but needs work. Nice layout with kitchen, dining and living room on main level, 3 bedrooms and full bath on the second floor, and a partially finished walk out basement. Hardwood flooring under carpeting. Side porch/mudroom. Corner lot with nice plantings. Located in an area of more substantial homes- convenient to Bedford Center, Lexington and 128 too!
