Charming 8 room gambrel colonial in the heart of Swampscott's Olmstead Historic District. You will feel right at home the moment you walk through the front door into the sunlit, front to back living room with a fireplace that currently houses a pellet stove, generating a glowing warmth throughout. A cozy sunroom is situated directly off of the living room. Mud room with half bath leads to the fenced in yard, deck, and patio. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled with pine cabinets and granite counter tops. The 4 bedrooms on the second floor have central air, installed in 2017. The basement has a French drain and waterproofing system done in 2013. The roof and windows are about 8 years old. Exterior painted and new gutters installed last year. Mountwood Road is a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac within a short distance of the town center, the beach, and great restaurants. The train station is close by.
