About this home
Classic Colonial offering generous living space, timeless character and recent updates in a desirable Worcester neighborhood setting. Freshly painted throughout with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, this home is move-in ready and filled with natural light. The spacious front-to-back living room features a traditional brick fireplace and classic mantel, while the formal dining room offers wainscoting and a French door. The bright kitchen provides abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, custom backsplash and a charming dining nook. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite includes a private full bath and two closets. The finished third floor adds valuable flexibility with a fourth bedroom and separate office areaideal for working from home, guests or additional living space. Enjoy the three-season sunroom overlooking the level, partially fenced backyard. Additional improvements include first-floor vinyl replacement windows, a new boiler and recent water heater. Two-car attached garage completes the package.
Forest Grove, located between Green Hill Park and Lake Quinsigamond, is a residential and park-adjacent Worcester neighborhood with winding side streets and a wooded, hillside feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Green Hill Park entrance at Belmont Street and Skyline Drive, where ballfields, trails, and seasonal events set the tempo. Housing reads as early- to mid-20th-century New England—compact capes, colonials, and triple-deckers with deep yards and stone retaining walls. Green Hill Park’s zoo and farm areas add a civic, weekend-outing energy. Nearby, the Worcester Art Museum and Mechanics Hall broaden the cultural orbit without changing the quiet street rhythm.
