Property details

About 470 Wordsworth St

Set on a spacious and semi-private lot, this cute 3 bedroom ranch would make a fantastic starter home, or potential investment. Smart layout, including a large kitchen with plenty of natural light, dining room / home office, mud/laundry room at the rear and a long living room along the front. Portions of the attic have plywood flooring, creating lots of extra storage space. Outside, you'll find wider-than-expected fenced side lots, a nice deck off the rear entrance, and some beautiful, mature landscaping. New HWH - furnace is only 4 years old. Priced to sell - this one won't last long!
