Listing broker remarks

This Colonial-style townhouse lives like a single-family home! Water, sewer, and all utilities are separately metered, private garage, driveway and yard and the condo fee is negligible currently at $20 a month. Beautiful and move-in ready, it offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a versatile open concept floor plan with a first-floor bedroom serving as flexible space for a home office, guest room, or workout room. Custom built closets, a generous second-floor laundry room, and an unfinished storage basement provide exceptional everyday functionality. Extensively renovated in 2022 with all major systems replaced, including HVAC, electrical panel, and hot water heater. Subsequent improvements include custom designer blinds, a full landscaping overhaul, a French drain (2023), and a new roof (2025). Ideally situated across from Messinger Park in Canton's vibrant town center, with easy access to shops, restaurants, parks, and the Canton Center commuter rail station.— Real Broker MA, LLC
