About this home

Attention Contractors, Investors, and Handymen/women! This home is in need of a complete rehab. and updating to be the showstopper it could be! Good size rooms. Fireplaced living room. Sunroom off living room has large windows and french door. Hardwood floors. Extra bonus room off of the main bedroom (would be perfect for an office, nursery, or closet!) Partially finished basement room. The roof is only 3 yrs. old and water heater is brand new but other than that it needs just about everything! The exterior siding, doors and trim are peeling, needs gutters. Older windows throughout. The back outside stairs need to be removed (the back entrance was removed when 1/2 bath installed), there is a side entrance. Older kitchen and baths, half bath off the kitchen does not have heat. Cracks and holes in ceilings and walls. This home is on a corner lot in a great Wollaston location and beautiful neighborhood, close to E. Milton Square, off Harvard St.
