About this home

Opportunity knocks! This classic Craftsman Colonial in the heart of St. Brendan’s Parish is ready for your vision. Loved by the same family for decades, it offers four generous bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with gorgeous original woodwork, moldings, and period details throughout. The hardwood floors are in great shape and set the stage for a stunning restoration; interior paint will go a long way. The kitchen and baths are dated and ready to be reimagined. Lots of natural light from box windows. What's done? Roof and low-maintenance vinyl siding are in good condition, a newer electrical main wire into the house and a brand new gas boiler! The original windows will need to be updated. Enjoy walkable access to St. Brendan’s Church and School, neighborhood parks, and a growing dining scene including Lucy’s American Tavern, Landmark Public House, Scobie’s Café & Bar, and Molinari’s Pizzeria, plus everyday shopping in Adams Village. Bring your ideas and your contractor! Welcome home.
