    Modern updatesMid-century modern charmNew roofReplacement windows
    OPEN HOUSE September 7 from 11am-1pm. Welcome to this beautifully updated home in the desirable Boston Square neighborhood! Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,432 finished square feet with room to add more finished sq. ft in the basement. This home blends Mid-Century Modern charm with modern updates throughout. The kitchen was refreshed in 2023 with new flooring, lighting, sink, fixtures, disposal, refrigerator, and a custom built-in shelf. Both bathrooms have been recently renovated, and the new roof (2022) ensures peace of mind. Additional upgrades include replacement windows, a new water heater (2025) and washer/dryer (2025). With thoughtful updates inside and out, this move-in-ready home is a rare find in Boston Square. This mid-century, stylish home has been highly maintained by the current owners! Boston Square redevelopment is underway in the area of Boston St. Fuller and Kalamazoo. 'Boston Square Together' is a mixed-income, mixed-use, and mixed-tenure neighborhood. The comprehensive redevelopment in the Boston Square neighborhood has approximately 9 acres of community hubs. The comprehensive redevelopment will include a community hub with an early learning center, a public park, approximately 60,000 square feet of retail. The basic approach to "re-establish" the significant site in the neighborhood is to focus on creating a fresh, thoughtful, sustainable, and contributing mixed-use experience.
