Listing broker remarks

While others compete for homes that have already been updated, consider the opportunity to create something that’s truly your own. The old saying “location, location, location” has stood the test of time, and this home proves why. Situated in a highly desirable neighborhood, it offers the chance to renovate at your own pace, and design each space to match your personal style. This classic Cape features six rooms, three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and 1,428 square feet of living space. Hardwood flooring runs through many of the rooms, the living room is highlighted by a fireplace, and the attached two-car garage provides excellent storage and workspace. Whether you’re looking for a home to personalize or planning for the long term, this is an outstanding opportunity to build equity while creating the home you’ve always envisioned.— Trufant Real Estate
