Listing broker remarks

An in-town classic with a location you can only imagine at 6 Smith Street! Tucked away on a rarely available street, this light-filled Cape is one block from restaurants and shops, and within easy walking distance of schools. Thoughtfully maintained and easy to care for, this charming home features beautiful hardwood floors, a center fireplace, and an updated custom kitchen renovated in 2020. Owned solar adds energy efficiency and value. The walkout basement offers partially finished space with great potential and opens to a surprisingly spacious, park-like backyard—private, peaceful, and a rare find so close to town. Sweet storage shed, gardens and so much more! This completely move-in ready home offers comfort, character, and an exceptional in-town lifestyle. Also home to brand new Amethyst Elementary School. Don't miss out!— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
