A Chicopee Dudley Diamond in the rough located blocks from downtown, Greenway Trails, Dudley Park, Walker Park, north campus, and the multimodal transportation center. This 1928 mill house with a shared driveway has the same charm as it did when it was first built with its beadboard walls, tall ceilings, large windows, heart pine floors, and a large, screened front porch elevated above the street and a view of downtown from the back porch. Original features include original six over six windows, tongue and groove bead board walls and ceilings, six over six windows. Fireplace surrounds and mantles, with a chimney insert for a wood stove in the living room. Even the original dust boxes are stored in the attic, which is large enough for a possible loft. The backyard has stone accents, multi-level garden terraces replenished annually with compost, and enough room for a guest cottage or studio. This home is habitable, but does have some deferred maintenance including past termite damage.
