Listing broker remarks

20 Eureka Ave offers a compelling opportunity for buyers who see the value in location, space, and potential. Set on a quiet dead-end street in Swampscott and just minutes from the beach, this 3-bedroom home is ready for its next chapter. The property does need updating and would benefit from renovation, but it already offers plenty to work with, including hardwood floors, two fireplaces, an attached garage, a large deck, an expansive backyard, a newer roof, and flexible lower-level space. For a buyer with vision, there is real opportunity to personalize the home, make improvements over time, and build value. The location is a standout. Enjoy the peace and privacy of an established neighborhood while being just minutes from Swampscott's beaches, highly regarded schools, shopping, dining, and commuter routes. It's a great combination of neighborhood living and easy access to everything that makes Swampscott such a desirable North Shore community. Whether you're looking for your first home, a renovation opportunity, or simply the chance to create something of your own in a great location, 20 Eureka offers possibilities that are increasingly hard to find. Bring your ideas and come see the potential. Open House Saturday, August 15. All offers are due by 6:00 PM on Monday, August 17.— Century 21 North East
