Bellevue Hill single family at a great price! Set back from quiet Kenneth Street and surrounded by larger homes, this 3-4 bedroom home is a great opportunity to break into the West Roxbury market. Wonderful home for first time home buyer, down-sizer or investor. VERY walkable location (walkscore 81), just a couple of blocks to the commuter rail to downtown, bus to Forest Hills and area Hospitals, Centre Street shops, restaurants, Roche Brothers and Holy Name School. Billings Field is also nearby. Build some instant sweat equity in this 1910 charmer. ALL OFFERS ENCOURAGED and quick closing desired.
