Classic Colonial character, flexible living space, and exciting potential come together in this three-bedroom Shrewsbury home, ready for your personal touch. Enter inside to a spacious living room where a large picture window fills the space with natural light and a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point. The layout flows easily into the formal dining room, offering a dedicated setting for dinners and gatherings. Nearby, the dine-in kitchen provides ample cabinet storage and room for casual meals, with direct access to a versatile sunroom/mudroom brightened by a skylight. From here, sliding doors open to a screened-in porch with a ceiling fan, creating a comfortable spot to enjoy fresh air in warmer months. A convenient half bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms share a full bathroom just off the hallway. The finished basement extends the living area with a large family room, plus adjoining utility and storage space. Outside, a back deck overlooks the yard, while a separate shed keeps tools and seasonal items organized. With multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to refresh, personalize, and make it distinctly your own.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
