Bungalow in Wakefield scores for convenience
From its bright red door to its latticed attic windows, the single-family property at 7 Meriam St. in Wakefield is a commuter’s dream. Located a little more than 10 miles from downtown Boston, Wakefield is conveniently located to Interstates 93 and 95/128 and is easily accessible by commuter rail. In fact, you can walk to and from the train or the bus stop that will take you to the Orange Line.
From its tree-lined neighborhood near Crystal Lake, 7 Meriam St. has that adorable bungalow look and, although it looks small, it packs almost 1,300 square feet behind its charming facade. Looking for an alternative to a condo or for a great starter home? This is it. Built in 1930 and well- maintained and updated throughout, the home features a spacious kitchen with extra-tall cabinets and breakfast bar with windows that open to the lovely backyard. There is a formal dining space that flows into the cozy living room, with hardwood floors throughout.
The home’s two bedrooms and one full bathroom are only the beginning of a space that has a ton of expansion potential. A partially finished lower level can be used as a third bedroom or a playroom. The walk-up attic is in great shape and perfect for extra storage space.
An enclosed front porch area is perfect for a reading nook — just add an Adirondack chair or two and a warm beverage. In the back, you’ll find a nice, flat, fenced-in yard and stone patio, great for grilling, a new playset or watching a furry friend run around.
The sale of the home, listed at $419,900, is being handled by Stephen Conroy at Conroy Realty Group, 781-246-1546.
