About this home

This freshly-painted 2-bedroom condo, with hardwood and ceramic tiled floors throughout, is move-in ready (quick close is possible). In the ultra-convenient Cedar Park neighborhood, with a Walk Score of 91, you are about a half-mile to the attractive downtown shopping area and dozens of dining options, and just a couple blocks to the Boston commuter rail, Ell Pond recreation, public pool and tennis, and seasonal Farmers Market (Thursdays). This corner unit, with no wasted hallway space, offers generous room sizes in an open-concept floor plan. The airy and bright combination LR/DR is ideal for entertaining and relaxing, with a glass wall of sliders to your West-facing balcony. The dining area is adjacent to an eat-in kitchen with S/S appliances and pantry closet. Both Bdms have lighted double closets, one with built-ins. Two parking spaces, plenty of guest parking, and an affordable condo fee which INCLUDES gas heat and hot water. Make life easier for yourself -- you deserve it !
