About This Home
Finally, a home on Hancock Ave becomes available. Several homes on this street are passed down generationally, so opportunities like this are rare. The location is unbeatable - right on the bike path and just steps from both downtown and conservation land, and easy walks to elementary, middle, and high schools. This home has been thoughtfully updated to keep its original charm while creating a space that works for today’s lifestyle. The kitchen is the showstopper — expanded with a full wall of windows, an oversized island, and a walk-in pantry—perfect for gathering. An oversized mudroom connects to the rare two-car garage and side yard. The dining room opens to a screened porch, while the living room and cozy den offer great flexibility. Upstairs are four bedrooms plus a front-facing office. The primary has its own bath, and there is room to expand into the attic. Neighborhood book clubs and street parties complete the picture. You don't want to miss this one!
