156 Ashgrove Avenue

This is a solid North End bungalow with one feature that sets it apart: the backyard opens directly onto a park with no rear neighbours. That kind of buffer is rare at this price point, and the aerial shots confirm it clearly. Inside, hardwood floors run the full main level and the kitchen has been freshened up with white shaker cabinets and a subway tile backsplash. The third bedroom has French doors to the rear deck — a practical detail that adds flexibility. The basement is finished and usable, though the wood-panel walls and carpet are original 1980s vintage. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout. The kitchen countertops and floor are functional but not premium. Buyers who want everything done will have a list; buyers who want good bones in a well-located home will find this worth a look.
