Listing broker remarks

A wonderful opportunity to put down roots in a desirable Braintree neighborhood at an approachable price point. Loved by the same family for decades, this charming bungalow is ready for its next chapter and offers exciting potential to renovate, personalize, and build equity over time. Set on a generous lot on a quiet dead-end street, the home offers approximately 1,944 sq. ft. of living space across three levels, 2 full and 1 half baths, off-street parking, and a full basement with interior and exterior access. The sizable lot and flexible layout may also offer potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to buyer due diligence and local requirements. The location is hard to beat—within walking distance to the Red Line, convenient to major highways, and just south of Boston. With great curb appeal, plenty of space, and so many possibilities, this is a special opportunity to create a home that works for you now and for years to come. Sold as-is. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding room count, square footage, ADU feasibility, and future use.— Keller Williams Realty Signature Properties
