Bring your vision, your tools, and your imagination, 5 Westminster St is ready for its next chapter! Full of character and possibilities, this classic Hyde Park home offers an exciting opportunity for investors, contractors, or buyers with an eye for design. Imagine transforming the bay-windowed living room into a bright gathering space, reimagining the formal dining room for entertaining, and giving the kitchen a fresh new look. Two generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable future retreats, while the office could become a dedicated workspace, nursery, or cozy den. A bonus room adds flexibility for storage, a walk-in closet, or whatever best fits your plans. A screened porch, fenced yard, and storage shed offer even more potential outside. Recent improvements include a 2021 roof replacement and 2024 gas water heater, giving you a head start on the transformation. Convenient to Hyde Park Avenue, Route 1, and Route 128/I-95, with shops, restaurants, parks, public transportation, and neighborhood amenities all nearby. Bring this home back to its former glory and create something uniquely yours!
