OPEN HOUSES CANCELED, SELLER ACCEPTED OFFER. Character, space and a central Lowell location come together in this distinctive second-floor condo. Hardwood floors, French doors and period details give the interior personality, beginning with a spacious fireplaced living room that connects to a separate dining room and a bright sunroom surrounded by windows. The bedroom continues the home’s character with hardwood flooring, French doors and a coffered ceiling, while an additional room offers flexibility as a home office. The kitchen provides a functional footprint with range, dishwasher and refrigerator, while the full bath features a tiled tub surround. New forced-air heating and central AC bring modern comfort to the home year-round. Set near Downtown Lowell, the Lowell Connector, I-495, UMass Lowell, Middlesex Community College, Lowell General Hospital and Shedd Park, the location provides easy access to commuter routes and many of the city’s major destinations. With 861 sq ft, six rooms and flexible bonus spaces beyond the bedroom, this condo offers character, functionality and a layout that makes excellent use of its space.
Lower Belvidere, located between the Merrimack River and the Concord River, is a residential and historic Lowell neighborhood with riverfront edges and a bridge-linked street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Thorndike Street and Pawtucket Street corridor, where commuter traffic, corner storefronts, and long views toward downtown set a brisk, urban cadence. Brick mill-era silhouettes across the water and a mix of older wood-frame houses define the streetscape. The riverwalk segments and pocket greens shape a daily loop for walking and cycling. Cultural gravity pulls from nearby Lowell Memorial Auditorium and the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell. Downtown’s independent dining and arts venues sit just across the bridges, keeping the atmosphere connected and city-facing.

TMF
Traditional Neighborhood Multi-Family District
Traditional Neighborhood Residential Districts are designed to preserve, promote, and enhance the pedestrian-scale character of Lowell’s historic residential neighborhoods. All three encourage moderately-sized lots and prohibit large-scale developments. The TSF district emphasizes single-family homes, the TTF district also allows two-family homes, while the TMF also allows three-family homes and up to 6-unit multi-family developments by special permit. To encourage neighborhood stability and owner-occupancy, special provisions are provided for single-family developments in the TTF and TMF zones.
