Charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street just minutes from the College of the Holy Cross — a location that's always in demand with both families and investors. The good-sized yard offers plenty of room for kids, pets, gardening, or outdoor entertaining, a rare find in this price range.Recent updates give real peace of mind: 200-amp electrical service with a 4-wire upgrade to the laundry room and a new dedicated feed to the kitchen with breaker (September 2025), a Peterson Oil furnace (2017), and fresh carpet in the living room and hallway (2026). These aren't cosmetic fixes — they're the systems that matter most to both a family moving in and an investor running the numbers.For investors: this is a strong flip or buy-and-hold candidate. The major mechanicals are already handled, leaving room to focus your renovation budget on cosmetic and value-add upgrades — kitchen and bath refresh, flooring, paint — for a faster turnaround and stronger margin. The dead-end street location also means low traffic and strong curb appeal, both of which matter to future buyers or tenants.For families: move in and make it your own, with major systems already updated and a layout that works. Convenient to shopping, major highways (Mass Pike, Route 290, Route 146), and several area colleges, making this a smart choice whether you're settling in long-term or building equity to sell.

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
