Investment Analysis — 95 Colton Place

Set behind a full-width covered porch with a tiled floor, this 1928 bungalow delivers the craftsmanship buyers search for and the updates they insist on. Inside, hardwood floors with decorative inlay borders run through the main level. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and a bay window fills the dining room with morning light. The kitchen is built for someone who actually cooks: a Viking range, counters, and crisp white cabinetry. Three bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor, with an arched entry door and deep original casings throughout  the kind of detail that simply is not built anymore.Downstairs, two partially finished bonus rooms add genuinely flexible space for a home office, playroom, gym, or guest area, alongside generous storage and laundry. Above, the unfinished walk-up attic spans 1,168 square feet across the full footprint of the house  rare expansion potential for a buyer with vision and a plan.Behind a long private drive sits a detached one-car garage, a real advantage at this price point in Longmeadow, with room for several additional vehicles on the paved drive. Major systems have been addressed: updated heating and updated electrical, so a pre-war home comes without pre-war worries. Natural gas heat, town water, and town sewer.Outside, mature plantings and established hedging frame a level, low-maintenance lot that is easy to keep looking sharp through every season. The covered porch functions as a true outdoor room  wide enough for full seating, shaded in summer, and the reason this house has always had presence from the street.The location is the quiet advantage. Schools, shopping, dining, and parks are all within walking distance, with quick access to I-91 for commuters heading north or south. Longmeadow's schools, services, and town character are the reason buyers choose this community, and homes of this size and vintage rarely reach the market here.Original 1920s craftsmanship, modern mechanicals, covered off-street parking, finished bonus space, and room to grow an uncommon combination in this price range in one of Western Massachusetts' most sought-after towns.
