Listing broker remarks

Think you need a huge renovation budget to get nearly 2,000 sq. ft., four bedrooms, and two full baths in Worcester? Think again. This versatile Cape offers the space buyers are searching for and a layout that adapts as life changes. The main level features hardwood floors, formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen, a first-floor bedroom and full bath, plus cathedral ceilings, skylights and direct access to the deck and patio. Upstairs, generous bedrooms, walk-in closets, and a bonus room offer options for work, hobbies, guests, or additional storage. Outside, enjoy a level, fully fenced yard and storage shed. A full basement offers additional potential, while replacement windows, vinyl siding, two-zone gas heat and off-street parking add everyday practicality. Not every buyer wants someone else’s renovation choices—or the premium attached to them. Bring your ideas, claim the space and make this home unmistakably yours. Schedule your private showing before another buyer sees the opportunity first.— Keller Williams Pinnacle Central
