Built in 1915 and held by the same family for over 60 years, this property is explicitly marketed as a contractor project or 'sweat equity' opportunity. While the living areas are staged, the utility spaces show aged systems, and the description's emphasis on 'restoring' and 'reimagining' indicates the home requires a full rehab of the kitchen, baths, and likely outdated electrical/plumbing systems to meet modern safety and functional standards.
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
