About this home

Not every home needs to be finished on day one. Sometimes the best houses are the ones that already live well and leave room for your ideas later. This ranch makes life simple from the start with everything you need on one level. Discover a comfortable living room that opens into a dining area or bonus space depending on your needs. The large eat-in kitchen has room to gather today and provides opportunity to reimagine over time. Three bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor with an easy, practical layout. Downstairs changes the conversation. High ceilings, a family room, kitchenette, laundry, and direct garage access create space, whether that means movie nights, hobbies, guest space, or simply spreading out. Outside, a deck overlooks the backyard while the fenced area gives pets room to roam. Nearby parks, easy access to the 67 bus to Alewife, and a location that keeps daily routines manageable make this a home that works now and leaves space for what comes next.
