This starter single-family in Dorchester's Neponset neighborhood has just the right amount of space for a young family, and its covered front porch and original woodwork add charm.
The three-bedroom hip-roof Colonial at 36 Garner Road was built in 1925 and still has much of its original wainscoting, built-ins and hardwood floors. A two-story addition was added in the 1980s, which created a family room and an additional full bathroom on the first floor and a master bedroom on the second. The price of this 1,668-square-foot home has just been reduced $20,000 to $399,000.
A white picket fence surrounds the front yard and the home has a covered farmer's porch and light blue vinyl siding with black shutters.
To the left, off an entry foyer, is a formal living room with three windows, hardwood floors and a brick covered wood-burning fireplace. A wide opening leads into a formal dining room with a chandelier hung from a plaster medallion and paneled wainscoting and a built-in cabinet.
Behind the dining area, in a 1980s addition, is a carpeted family room with a double-door closet.
Off the dining area is the home's kitchen, which also has hardwood floors, beadboard wainscoting and built-in hutches. This area, with a butcher block central island and older appliances, needs some sprucing up.
Behind the kitchen is a full bathroom added in the 1980s with green ceramic tile floors and white tile surround for a tub and shower. A hallway from the kitchen leads out to a rear deck that overlooks a grass backyard.
The home's three bedrooms are on the second floor, including a two-room master bedroom suite. There's a sitting room/dressing area with hardwood floors and a carpeted master bedroom with a light and fan in the 1980s addition. A door from the bedroom opens onto a roof that could be made into a private deck.
An adjacent full bathroom with hardwood floors was redone in the 1980s with beige tile walls and surround for a tub and shower.
Two other bedrooms on this floor are ideal for children, with hardwood floors and light/fans and there are two additional closets in the hallway for storage.
The home's basement has a garage area currently used for storage. There's also a laundry area with a full-sized washer and dryer.
The water heater was recently replaced and a new gas-fired high-efficiency furnace was added two years ago. The roof was redone eight years ago.
There's a driveway that holds four vehicles next to the house.
