UPDATE this home the way YOU like. Location can't be beat! Wonderful home on a quiet street where kids can ride their bikes, walk to Beaver Brook park. Huge backyard-lawn is great for games of hide & seek, sledding and barbecues alike. 1.5 baths, fireplace, generous bedrooms. HW floors. Solid, maintained home. Easy access to 128/95/2, Cambridge. Short trip to nearby grocery store. If you are looking for a home with character - this is it!
