About this home

Location w/history! West side beauty cited on .47A fenced lot in Summer Ave Historical District around the corner to Parker Middle School, short walk to train/center & easy access to 95/93/129. Imagine a crackling fire in the marble surround fireplace living room w/ the recessed lights set low listening to music via surround speakers in the SS eat-in kitchen w/gas stove, or while you watch candles flicker as you dine formally. There's time to entertain on new 16x10 deck & imagine next summer -a sparkling pool w/gas grill for cookouts & landscaped yard surrounded by mature plantings. A sunken sunroom maximizes daylight & warm rays each season via 3 walls of windows. New paint, pristine hardwood floors and generous rooms afford extra space. The Master bedroom's private spa bath w/pedestal sink is a hidden oasis. A 4th bedroom w/cedar closet, bath, family room, laundry-1/2 bath offer in-law potential. A full floored attic tops it off. Add your touches/imagination to make this yours!
