Here is the blank canvas you need to create a home your family can enjoy for years to come. This charming SF on a sleepy Porter Sq. side street has been occupied and loved by the same family since 1937. Situated at the bend of a circular street, the front porch overlooks the yard and neighborhood. Inside, the foyer has a stairwell to the right, kitchen straight ahead, and LR to the left, leading into the DR, both with windows overlooking the lush side yard. A pantry, half bath, and door to the yard complete the 1st floor. The 2nd floor features 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The top floor has 2 rooms used as bedrooms and an attic storage room. More storage, utilities, and laundry hook-ups are in the basement. Central air. The fenced side and back yards provide space to play, entertain, and garden. And it's all just a short walk to the Porter Sq. subway and commuter rail, shops, eateries, Mass. Ave. bus. Easy access to Minuteman Bike Trail, Rts. 90, 93, 2, 16, 38, and Logan airport.
