Charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street just minutes from the College of the Holy Cross a location that's always in demand with both families and investors. The good-sized yard offers plenty of room for kids, pets, gardening, or outdoor entertaining, a rare find in this price range.Recent updates give real peace of mind: 200-amp electrical service with a 4-wire upgrade to the laundry room and a new dedicated feed to the kitchen with breaker (September 2025), a Peterson Oil furnace (2017), and fresh carpet in the living room and hallway (2026). These aren't cosmetic fixes they're the systems that matter most to both a family moving in and an investor running the numbers.For investors: this is a strong flip or buy-and-hold candidate. The major mechanicals are already handled, leaving room to focus your renovation budget on cosmetic and value-add upgrades kitchen and bath refresh, flooring, paint for a faster turnaround and stronger margin. The dead-end street location also means low traffic and strong curb appeal, both of which matter to future buyers or tenants.For families: move in and make it your own, with major systems already updated and a layout that works. Convenient to shopping, major highways (Mass Pike, Route 290, Route 146), and several area colleges, making this a smart choice whether you're settling in long-term or building equity to sell.
North Quinsigamond Village, located between Lake Quinsigamond and Shrewsbury Street, is a lakeside and residential Worcester neighborhood with shoreline views and a mix of mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Shrewsbury Street corridor near the Lake Quinsigamond boat ramps, where local eateries, corner storefronts, and commuter traffic set a steady rhythm. Triple-deckers and compact capes sit alongside small apartment buildings, with pockets of older industrial fabric near the rail lines. Lake Quinsigamond Park and the shoreline paths shape daily routines around water and open sky. The nearby Worcester Art Museum and Mechanics Hall add a cultural counterpoint to the lakefront calm.
