OFFER DEADLINE Tuesday, 4/21 at 5:00 PM. Please allow 24 hours for response. Tucked in a Worcester neighborhood near Lake Park and UMass, this charming Cape-style home offers genuine warmth and a layout that just works. The vaulted family room impresses with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Hardwood floors carry through the main level and into the upstairs bedrooms, lending character throughout. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or single-floor living. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a half bath. The skylit bonus room with mini-split is a genuine surprise, an inviting light-filled space with endless potential. Recent updates mean the big-ticket items are already done: a new roof with solar panels (2023) and a new high-efficiency gas boiler (2024). A flat lot, easy highway access, and a walkable setting near Lake Park and local amenities round out the home.
