Outdoor living includes a spacious patio, complete with firepit on a level lot. The garage has direct entry and GarageTek storage system. Located near Burr Elementary, this home is part of a vibrant community known for its “Oval”, Norumbega Park, and fun, coordinated neighborhood holiday lighting. Solar installed in 2018.
