One bedroom currently spans two combined rooms, offering flexible space for a home office, nursery, or guest suite, and can be restored to its original three-bedroom configuration. A charming bay window brightens another bedroom, filling the room with natural light and built-in shelving.This home is subject to a Covenant for Affordable Housing recorded with the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA). Eligible buyers must meet published household income and asset limits and intend to occupy the property as their primary residence. Resale price is capped in accordance with the Covenant's formula.

The current owner removed a wall to create one massive, oversized bedroom, so it currently functions as a 2-bedroom layout. For buyers needing that extra space, the wall can easily be put right back up to restore the original 3-bedroom floor plan! Endless flexibility to suit your needs."
