Listing broker remarks

Charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street just minutes from the College of the Holy Cross — a location that's always in demand with both families and investors. The good-sized yard offers plenty of room for kids, pets, gardening, or outdoor entertaining, a rare find in this price range.Recent updates give real peace of mind: 200-amp electrical service with a 4-wire upgrade to the laundry room and a new dedicated feed to the kitchen with breaker (September 2025), a Peterson Oil furnace (2017), and fresh carpet in the living room and hallway (2026). These aren't cosmetic fixes — they're the systems that matter most to both a family moving in and an investor running the numbers.For investors: this is a strong flip or buy-and-hold candidate. The major mechanicals are already handled, leaving room to focus your renovation budget on cosmetic and value-add upgrades — kitchen and bath refresh, flooring, paint — for a faster turnaround and stronger margin. The dead-end street location also means low traffic and strong curb appeal, both of which matter to future buyers or tenants.For families: move in and make it your own, with major systems already updated and a layout that works. Convenient to shopping, major highways (Mass Pike, Route 290, Route 146), and several area colleges, making this a smart choice whether you're settling in long-term or building equity to sell.— The DiRoberto Group Inc.
