About 8 Scotia St

Come see this sun drenched house on a quiet little cul de sac in the desirable Witchcraft Heights/ Gallows Hill area. With four bedrooms and a quaint fenced in yard, it’s perfect for a family and your furry friends. The property features a large unfinished basement for storage and two off street parking spots with plenty of street parking available for guests. Leaf filter gutters were installed last year and carry a transferable lifetime warranty. The carpet on the third floor, built in microwave, and water heater were all replaced this year. The house comes with a new smart Samsung washer and dryer in the basement. The luxurious deep soaking tub was renovated in 2019. A recent Mass Save energy inspection revealed that the house is well insulated. The sellers are providing a $5K credit at closing to help update the oil heating system. A large Mass Save rebate may also available to help. The sellers are motivated and ready to pass this gem on to the next family who will love it.
