For Sale - Active
Units n/a

These homeowners have meticulously cared for their dormered Cape for over 30 years! It's located on a corner lot near the Gardner schools and Dunn Park, and minutes to Routes 140, 2 and 101 for the commuter! There's so much living space for the large family with a 4th bedroom (now used as a den) and renovated bath on the first floor and a 2nd remodeled bath on the 2nd! This home knocks it out of the park when it comes to having enough room to entertain, inside and out, with a large living room w/fireplace, spacious dining room and eat-in kitchen and a deck in the back to enjoy your morning coffee with your favorite person while surrounded with beautiful perennials! Living, dining room AND 3 out of the 4 bedrooms have GLEAMING wood floors! (Wood floor possibly under BR #3 carpet!) Master BR has double closets and the rest of the house has soooo many closets, too! Kitchen stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer & dryer all included!
