Welcome Home to this adorable dormered Cape, nestled in the most desirable neighborhood in Neponset/Dorchester. Close to Hemingway Park, Adams Village restaurants & shops, Neponset River Greenway nature trail, Red Line Stations and bus stops. This well-loved home has been in the same family for over 70 years and now it is time to pass it along to the next generation. Bring your own ideas & style! There are hardwood floors throughout most of the home and there is a cozy enclosed front porch as well. Good sized living room is open to a den and the dining room. Possibly open the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a larger open space. Main bedroom, full bath, and three season room with potential to add heat complete the first floor. Second floor offers two ample sized bedrooms and half bath. So much potential in this home for the buyer to build some sweat equity in this highly coveted Dorchester neighborhood. Unfinished basement, fenced in yard, 3 tandem off st parking.
