About this home

Downtown Wakefield offers restaurants, shops, and near limitless outdoor activities at Lake Quannapowitt! Gleaming hardwood floors throughout, stainless steel appliances, gas heat, beautiful decks off each unit, and a fenced backyard are just a few of the wish list items both you -- and your future tenants, have been searching for! This is the home ownership and investment opportunity you’ve been waiting for. No showings until after open house 8/23 from 12-2pm. Offers, if any, due Tuesday 8/25 by 5pm.
