This cutie may be everything you need and nothing you don’t. The curb appeal draws you in with a brand new cobblestone walkway and beautiful plantings. A 2 bedroom 1 bath bungalow provides one floor living, but also has has an oversized garage and full basement for storage and office space. The updated kitchen has 2020 appliances featuring a gas range and stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher. The open kitchen dining area is light and bright with a cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a slider(2022) to the backyard oasis. An adorable coffee nook adds a nice touch to this space as well as extra cabinets. The living room has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy company. Spend some quiet time on your front porch area during the day, and retreat to the backyard later to sit by the fire, watch the game on a big screen, play cornhole or roast marshmallows at the fire pit. You’ll never want to leave this space which was fully vinyl fenced in 2020! Vinyl siding, newer gas furnace(2018), roof(2024), and insulation(2021) are comforting features for the discerning buyer. Only 0.6 miles to the shops and restaurants in Weymouth landing and the East Braintree/Weymouth landing T station, the house sits just over the line in Braintree giving you Braintree schools, taxes and BELD electric.

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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
