Home located close to the Woburn line, with drive way off of the quieter side street. Great, flat yard. The master bedroom and 2nd bedroom on the second floor are both very spacious. The stairs leading up the the third floor are a bit steep. Second...
full bath on second floor has a tun only.

Woburn Highlands, located between Horn Pond and the Woburn Center historic district, is a residential and commuter-friendly Woburn neighborhood with leafy side streets and a classic New England streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Montvale Avenue and Main Street corridor, where small storefronts, corner eateries, and everyday errands create a steady street rhythm. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century capes, colonials, and tidy multifamily homes set behind mature trees. Horn Pond’s loop paths and water views shape the local pace, while nearby civic buildings and brick mill remnants hint at Woburn’s industrial roots. For culture and community touchstones, the Woburn Public Library, the Woburn Historical Society, and the Woburn Bowladrome anchor local routines.
