Description
Welcome to 523 Dorchester Avenue, a charming brick home with beautiful curb appeal and a welcoming front porch, ideally situated in the heart of Lincoln Park within the Wilson School District.
Inside, the spacious living room features hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace and a full wall of built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting first impression. The kitchen retains some of its original character, including the sink, while a peninsula provides additional counter space and a natural gathering spot. Just off the dining room, a door leads to the deck, side yard and spacious backyard beyond.
The home offers three bedrooms across the upper levels, with two bedrooms and a full bathroom on one floor and a private primary bedroom on the top level.
Just a few steps down from the kitchen, you’ll find a half bathroom, laundry room with a convenient laundry chute, and access to the garage and storage area. The fully finished basement provides even more flexible living space and could serve as a second family room, playroom, home office or hobby space, complete with additional built-in cabinetry.
Outside, enjoy a generous backyard with a patio and storage shed, offering plenty of room to relax, entertain or make the space your own.
Filled with original details, built-in storage and versatile living spaces, 523 Dorchester Avenue offers character, comfort and convenience, with easy access to Routes 724, 422 and 222. This will not last — book your showing!
