Find old-fashioned charm in this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Spencer’s historic north side. Step onto the stamped concrete front patio and covered front porch before entering inviting living spaces featuring hardwood floors, rich original woodwork, and a classic fireplace—the kind of character you can’t recreate. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, plenty of prep space, and select appliances included. A rare bonus for a home with this much character: the primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level. You’ll also appreciate the home’s flexible spaces, including a loft/sunroom-style area ideal for a reading room, playroom, or home office. The large basement provides excellent storage and hobby/workshop potential, and includes a pot-belly wood burning stove. The walkout basement takes you right into a covered back patio, fully fenced yard, and mature landscaping—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, pets, or play. Plus, enjoy the convenience of a detached 2-car garage. Location is a standout: just a few blocks from Spencer Elementary, minutes to Boston Scientific, and close to shopping, the town square, and local conveniences. A unique opportunity to own a home with timeless details, great outdoor spaces, and room to make it your own.
