About this home

Well-maintained and bright two bedroom Cape close to Dolan Pond Conservation Area! This charming home on a tree-lined street features an attached garage, beautiful hardwood floors and appealing interior updates. The main level delights with a front to back living room with fireplace and custom teak shelving, an adjacent sunroom, dining room and a half bath. The kitchen is highlighted by two-tone cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. On the upper level there is a full bath and two bedrooms, one with double closets and the other with closet and built-in shelving. Other highlights include a partially-finished lower level, newer roof (2009), split AC/heating and new basement windows. Outdoors you'll find a well landscaped and private yard with stone patio. Great location tucked away on a quiet side street yet only minutes to highways, public transportation/commuter rail and shopping.
