*New price*.This is your answer to entering the housing market. Affordable, single family has great views of the water from the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom! This property is conveniently located near the Common and downtown, and also a short distance from the train. Two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, with a nice eat-in kitchen and a full basement, make this home a great starter. Full bath has a beautiful tiled shower, with multiple jets! Needs some work, but will be worth making it your own. Call for a showing, or come by this Saturday, from 11:30-1pm, to check out the view!
