Welcome to 605 Birmingham Ave in the sought-after WoodCrest community! This charming colonial home offers a classic floor plan with plenty of inviting spaces. Freshly painted interiors and hardwood floors throughout most of the home create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Major updates include a roof replacement in 2011, a newer HVAC system from 2020, and updated windows. The private, fenced backyard is spacious and perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step onto the covered front porch and enter into a bright living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room and a cozy den beyond. The dining room connects to the kitchen, which features a gas range and refrigerator, and leads to a lovely screened three-season sunroom. A versatile main-level room, currently used as an office/den, offers a separate entrance from the front exterior and access through the pantry area off the kitchen. New shelving in the pantry/storage area is included. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized, sun-filled bedrooms and a charming full bath. The lower level features a full basement with ample storage, a workshop area, and a non-functioning former WC. Shelving and benches are included. There is a chair lift from kitchen to basement, that will be included or removed at Buyer's choosing. Located on a desirable inside street, this home offers easy access to Boxwood Rd, Route 141, and I-95, with shops, dining, and public transportation just beyond the neighborhood. The WoodCrest Civic Association facebook site lists a nearby community pool available for a fee. CIvic Association Fee in 2024 was $10/annual - voluntary. Don't miss this opportunity to own a wonderful home in a fantastic location! Property is being sold in "as-is, where-is" condition.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
