Deering Center is one of those magical neighborhoods that is close but not too close, is walkable/bike-able/livable but not too urban or busy, is close to schools, shops and all that makes city life great but feels special and suburban. 9 Alba is a remarkably affordable home that will allow one lucky buyer access to this amazing neighborhood at a terrific price. This quiet tree lined street is just outside of the school and business district and a short distance to parks, playgrounds and even walking/hiking trails. Outside the property is low maintenance with a new roof and worry free siding. Inside enjoy retained period details dating to the 1900's and lots of updates. Ground level offers entry, living, dining and kitchen. Second level offers 3 bedrooms with a full bath. The basement is clean and organized with updated electrical and a new, efficient gas boiler.
