Description
Nestled on a generous lot in the East Gloucester Square Historic District, this expansive center-entrance Colonial boasts rich character, a highly functional floor plan, and a prime opportunity in a sought-after neighborhood. Cherished for 65 years by its owners, this elegant home is ready for its next chapter, offering immense potential for customization and a fantastic chance to build both sweat equity and lasting memories. Bright, spacious living areas anchor the main level, highlighted by expansive windows, a large eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, a front-to-back double living room/den, and a versatile bonus room addition that opens onto the backyard - ideal for a home office or playroom. Upstairs, a broad central landing connects a spacious primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a large U-shaped bathroom.
