About this home
***OPEN HOUSE*** FRAMINGHAM OPPORTUNITY. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with lovely curb appeal and a spacious, fully fenced-in backyard, offers comfortable living space in the heart of Framingham. It is convenient to some of Framingham's most coveted treasures -- it's right over the bridge from Keefe Tech High (0.2 mile), around the corner from La Cantina, two blocks from Roosevelt Park, and less than a half-mile from Cushing Park, Farm Pond and Loring Arena. Built in 1945, and inhabited by the same owners since 2000, this cape has undergone many improvements and updates through the years, including fresh vinyl siding, exterior doors, garage door, first floor and basement windows, all replaced in 2001; second floor windows and insulation 2012; roof (2013); second floor room renovations (2022); updated 200 amps electrical (2001); water heater (2023); boiler (2024). Please see MLS attachment for complete list of upgrades. The property's first floor reflects the 1945 build date, and will likely require interior updating from the home's next buyer. First floor bathroom and kitchen are functional, and are ready for renovation. Whether you are a buyer looking for a great value in Framingham and willing to lend some sweat equity and DIY value building, or an investor searching for your next project, 38 Fay Road is packed with potential. Conveniently located close to Routes 135, 30, and 9, and the Mass Pike. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Jack's Abby are nearby, as well as ample mall shopping, and hiking trails at Callahan State Park and Cochituate Rail Trail. 38 Fay Road is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS. Buyers to perform their own due diligence.
Coburnville, located between Downtown Framingham and Saxonville, is a residential and commuter-friendly Framingham neighborhood with a rail-side edge and a patchwork of wooded pockets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Waverly Street corridor near the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Line, where small auto shops, low-key eateries, and light-industrial buildings set a practical, workaday tone. Housing reads as classic MetroWest: modest single-family capes and colonials mixed with mid-century splits on curving side streets. The Cochituate Rail Trail frames daily routines with a linear ribbon for walking and biking. For local pillars, Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing Company, Amazing Things Arts Center, and Framingham Public Library anchor culture and community life nearby. Parks and playing fields around Cushing Memorial Park add open space without changing the neighborhood’s grounded feel.
