Listing broker remarks

Property is currently under contract with a buyer whose home sale contingency includes a kick-out clause. This presents a unique opportunity, as the seller is continuing to show the property and welcomes backup offers for a motivated buyer to secure the home while the current buyer works through their contingency. If another acceptable offer is received, the current buyer will have a limited window to remove their contingency or the seller may proceed with the new offer.Welcome to one of the most gracious homes on Worcester’s historic Kenwood Avenue! Situated on just under a half-acre in the Burncoat neighborhood, this beautifully maintained home blends classic period character with thoughtful updates. The kitchen features newer Thermador appliances, & the living room exudes warmth & charm with a newer wood stove fireplace insert. The fenced-in backyard is ideal for relaxing, with a grove of mature Japanese Maples & a large, heated in-ground pool that boasts upscale lighting for nighttime entertaining. Major improvements include a new roof, new hot water tank, exterior paint & a young furnace. This home is conveniently located minutes from Rt 290 with easy access to downtown Worcester, shopping, & commuting routes. The original listing on this property expired while the seller was under agreement with a deal that includes a home sale contingency. Re-listing the property with an agreement already in place.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Worcester
