About this home

Charming Bungalow in a super convenient location that is within walking distance of the Commuter Rail, Oak Grove T Station, downtown restaurants, shops and fitness centers as well as the Middlesex Fells Reservation! This pretty home offers an open floor plan that includes a spacious living room with a fireplace, large dining room which opens directly into the kitchen and has nice chair rail mouldings. The kitchen offers lots of cabinet space and fresh new countertops plus a mud room with access to the rear yard where you can enjoy the upcoming warm weather on the patio or relax on the large front porch and watch the world go by! The unfinished, walk-up attic offers great potential for you to create additional living space as does the lower level with a three quarter bath. Original details such as natural wood mouldings and hardwood floors are in near perfect condition. The garage under and new driveway provide ample parking.
