Opportunity knocks on a quiet side street in Wakefield! Take immediate advantage of the previous owner`s sweat equity as you enter the first-floor, which is complete with a charming living room abutted by an open concept kitchen and dining area that underwent a total refresh in 2018. New cabinets, stainless steel appliances, counter tops, and porcelain tile flooring were all among the 2018 first-floor upgrades. Finishing off the first floor is a full bathroom featuring "his & hers" sinks and 2018 tile flooring. The second floor is the equity-building opportunity that you have been looking for. The carpets have been removed to reveal wide-plank hardwood flooring just waiting for someone to finish them. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor with the main bedroom boasting two separate closets and a private 1/2 bath. The second floor is where a some TLC will go a long way - an advantageous opportunity to make this home your own!
