This stately brick Colonial has been lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built over 60 years ago. Beautifully positioned on a spacious, level lot with partial fencing and a covered patio area this home offers timeless charm and comfort. The first floor features a welcoming living room with a cozy fireplace, a versatile den or office, and an inviting eat-in kitchen. Hardwood floors lie beneath the wall-to-wall carpeting in the living room, den, and stairway. Additional highlights include two-zone central air conditioning and a brand-new roof installed in 2023. Converted to gas heat in 2013. The blown in insulation is another nice advantage. Ample off-street parking, nearby beaches and a bus stop at the top of the street to get to nearby Quincy center "T", restaurants and stores all add to the appeal of this well-maintained home. Pride of ownership is evident throughout. The unfinished basement with 1/4 bath may have potential to finish an area for extra living space.
