Listing broker remarks

LET’S BE HONEST—YOU’RE BUYING THE LOCATION! Federal Street is one of those addresses people wait for. Add in beautiful outdoor space with blooming wisteria and a tucked-away, secret-garden feel— this one is pretty special! Grab coffee, walk to dinner, stroll the waterfront, browse local shops, or spend Sunday mornings at the Tannery Farmers Market—all just minutes from your front door. Once inside, you’ll love the natural light, warm wood floors, and that hard-to-find mix of modernity, charm, and privacy. The flexible layout works for everyday living, with three bedrooms two baths, and a sunny reading room or office that is the best spot for your afternoon tea. Enjoy a full basement with great storage and future potential. A brick driveway adds both charm and convenience. AND there's room to make this your own over time! With a Walk Score of 91, you may find yourself leaving the car behind more often than not!— RE/MAX Bentley's
