About this home

This classic Garrison Colonial on Elmcrest Road is a standout, offering the perfect blend of community spirit and versatile living space. Located on the coveted Westside, this property sits in the heart of a welcoming neighborhood that feels like home from the moment you arrive—a friendly setting dotted with hockey nets, basketball hoops, and a genuine sense of connection.

The main level welcomes you with a light-filled living room featuring a classic white fireplace mantel framed by built-in bookcases. You’ll also find a formal dining room and a flexible den, ideal for a quiet home office or study. A major highlight is the large 3-season room off the side entry; it serves as a perfect transition space or supersized mudroom, opening directly into the kitchen and providing convenient access to the one-car garage. Upstairs, the home features three bedrooms with hardwood floors and the full bath. The property is equipped with natural gas heat for reliability and efficiency. Looking for more room to expand?

About West

Side

West Side, located between Lake Quannapowitt and the Saugus River corridor, is a residential and commuter-friendly Wakefield neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a strong lakeside running culture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Quannapowitt loop at the Main Street/Common Street edge, where coffee counters, casual bites, and storefront errands blend with constant foot traffic. Pillars include the Beebe Memorial Library, the Wakefield Farmers Market on the Common, and the Majestic Theater for local performances. Housing leans toward early-20th-century Colonials and Capes with tidy yards and deep porches. Side streets funnel toward the lake paths and the Common’s green. The pace feels grounded, with daily routines shaped by the water and the town center.
