Prime opportunity to be on a beautiful side street off of Mass Ave in the Follen Hill neighborhood. This property now awaits its new owner- and its next chapter- someone ready to put their own signature on it. Solidly constructed and expanded, this 1920's Colonial sits on a large, secluded lot with 9460sf. Great exposure creates wonderful natural light. The layout adds flexibility and includes 2 bedrooms on the first floor, a full bath, living room with fireplace, a sunroom and a separate dining room adjacent to the kitchen. Upstairs has 2 generous bedrooms and another full bath. Nice woodwork and hardwood floors throughout will enhance any future cosmetic work. Private backyard, single car garage (needs some work), full basement with laundry and storage. The perfect side of town for a Cambridge/Boston commute, convenient to Wilson Farms, Lexington Center, the Minuteman Bikeway & the bus to Alewife. Priced below assessed value and will appeal to end users or builders/remodelers.
