About this home
The one you can't afford to miss: 2024 roof, 2022 septic system, 5 bedrooms plus 1 bonus room, 2 kitchens, a sprawling deck, and parking for 10! Welcome to 12 Folsom Street, a lovingly maintained Cape offering 3,544+ sq ft of finished living space on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Cherry Valley. A classic farmer's porch beckons you inside, where natural light pours across a gracious living room and a sun-drenched sunroom framing picturesque views. An elegant formal dining room flows into the eat-in kitchen, and 4 bedrooms grace the main floors, with a 5th in the lower level. Above the garage, a generous bonus room awaits your vision: home office, art studio, gym, playroom, or guest retreat. The fully finished lower level is a true home within a home, complete with its own kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and expansive living area, offering outstanding in-law potential and opening directly to the backyard. Outdoors, a sprawling deck overlooks a private, fenced backyard, level and impeccably manicured, the perfect stage for summer cookouts, gardening, and endless play. Two spacious tool sheds keep every mower, bike, and project neatly in its place, and parking is effortless with a 6-car main driveway, a separate 2-car side driveway, and a 2-car heated garage. Peace of mind comes standard: the septic system was installed in 2022, and the newer roof went on alongside the home's solar energy system in 2024. The school bus stops right at the street, with easy access to Route 9, shopping, parks, Worcester, WPI, Worcester State, and Clark University. PRICED TO SELL. OFFER DEADLINE TUESDAY 11/17.

About Webster
Square
Webster Square, located between Elm Park and Webster Lake, is a residential and commercial Worcester neighborhood with a classic main-street strip and a patchwork of triple-deckers. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Park Avenue and Mill Street corridor, where corner markets, barbershops, and long-running eateries line the sidewalks. Housing reads as early-20th-century Worcester—porches, bay windows, and tight blocks—broken up by small plazas and civic buildings. The White City Plaza area adds a practical retail node without changing the street-level, lived-in feel. Green space and walking loops at nearby Elm Park shape daily routines. Local staples such as Coney Island Hot Dogs, Ralph’s Rock Diner, and the Worcester Art Museum help anchor the wider area’s culture.
