THE BEST VALUE IN WAKEFIELD. Now is your chance to own a well cared for home with an exceptional yard space. All in a location that is convenient to downtown Wakefield, the middle and high schools, as well as highway and train station access for commuters. 34 Valley Street features a spacious dine-in kitchen and two sizable first floor living spaces, along with 3 bedrooms. In addition there is a young roof, utilities, and many updated Harvey windows. The stove, heating system, and hot water are all powered by natural gas. A full basement with walkout provides for plenty of storage space. The exterior is home to an over-sized driveway which is in great condition and can fit 6 cars. The yard space is large, level and fully fenced. It features a fire pit and 2 raised garden beds.
A rare find! This lovingly maintained home was lived in by my Grandmother for 73 years. Over the years this sweet home has seen two additions, renovations and updates that accent the freshly sanded oak floors and natural woodwork. New vinyl windows, roof, electric box, gas steam boiler and hot water heater are just a few of the more recent renovations. The house is spotless and ready to enjoy. The large back yard is quite private, its boarded by bushes, a stone wall and a brook in the back.
