Listing broker remarks

Wonderful opportunity to establish roots in highly desirable west-side Worcester for under $400K. Knowles Rd was established more than a half century ago and has long since been a sought-after neighborhood for discerning buyers. The feature which really stands out in this home is the possibility of expansion. While the almost 1400 sq/ft on the main level are thoughtfully designed with original hardwood flooring throughout, the additional approx 200 sq/ft in the walk-up attic present the chance for growth of a third bedroom, workspace, or playroom. Additionally, there's the partially finished basement of almost 400 sq/ft, with wood paneling, wood-burning stove, full bar, half bath, and additional office. The kitchen has been updated with a ton of cabinets featuring pull-out shelving. The large, level backyard offers the possibility for a massive patio, or even a pool. The storage shed also has electrical run to it. New leaf-guard gutters recently installed. Don't miss this opportunity!— ERA Key Realty Services- Auburn
