Think you need a huge renovation budget to get nearly 2,000 sq. ft., four bedrooms, and two full baths in Worcester? Think again. This versatile Cape offers the space buyers are searching for and a layout that adapts as life changes. The main level features hardwood floors, formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen, a first-floor bedroom and full bath, plus cathedral ceilings, skylights and direct access to the deck and patio. Upstairs, generous bedrooms, walk-in closets, and a bonus room offer options for work, hobbies, guests, or additional storage. Outside, enjoy a level, fully fenced yard and storage shed. A full basement offers additional potential, while replacement windows, vinyl siding, two-zone gas heat and off-street parking add everyday practicality. Not every buyer wants someone else’s renovation choices—or the premium attached to them. Bring your ideas, claim the space and make this home unmistakably yours. Schedule your private showing before another buyer sees the opportunity first.

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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
