About this home
First time offered, this house has been family owned and occupied since it was built. A spacious Dutch Colonial located in the very desirable area at Penn's Hill, walking distance to Abigail Adams Cairn. The house has had significant updates in recent years which include roof, heating system, hot water tank, some window replacement and sump pump with French drain. It offers three large bedrooms, living room, den, dining room and eat-in kitchen with hardwood flooring throughout. There is also a two-car, detached, garage with new door and remote opener. Interior access to a full, walk-out basement suitable for finishing. Great location with close proximity to major roadways, shopping, public transportation; 'T', and walking distance to Faxon Park. Definitely worth a look and a great opportunity to add your own updates and customize to your satisfaction.
