Listing broker remarks

CHARMING CHELMSFORD COLONIAL — INSTANT EQUITY OPPORTUNITY! This West Chelmsford colonial is a rare find: a move-in ready home with real upside potential in a desirable location. At over 2,200 square feet, it offers 8 rooms, 4 bedrooms, a 2-car garage, and a lovely 3/4-acre lot — we'd argue there's nothing else on the Chelmsford market with this much room to grow. Character shows at every turn, from the hardwood floors to the oversized red brick fireplace and two charming built-ins, giving the home a warm, inviting feel throughout. The first floor offers a well-appointed kitchen with ample cabinetry, an adjoining dining room with hardwood floors, and an open, flowing layout anchored by a fireplaced living room and a spacious 20' x 22' family room — perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The screened porch, tucked along the side of the house, and the adjacent deck overlooking the private, wooded lot offer a great spot to relax and unwind. Upstairs, you'll find four corner bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, including a main bedroom with a walk-in closet. A pull-down staircase leads to attic storage. Come see it for yourself and imagine the possibilities.— ERA Key Realty Services
