Built in 1905, This classic Four Square has been completely redone to perfection.  The attic was redone as a retreat or a bonus area for the grandkids I think is really cool and 738 sq feet is unfinished.  Oversized 2 car garage is a real bonus in the North End.   Only on the market for two days

 

PROPERTY #3:
3020 N Lawrence              Listed at $545,000
