Grafton MA Real Estate ~ Just SOLD 43 Lincoln Lane at Forest Hills, Grafton Massachusetts. Sold at $350,000. Sold by Bill Gassett, RE/MAX Executive Realty. This townhome was a Short Sale with two different lenders.










If you are not familiar with what a short sale is I would encourage you to visit the link above. Generally speaking most short sales will be sold at a discount to the current market value of like properties. This Grafton Massachusetts townhome was located in the Forest Hills neighborhood and was in fantastic shape.
The townhome had the look and feel of a stand alone home and did not remind you of the typical condo interior. 43 Lincoln Lane was one of the former Amherst models and was loaded with upgrades & extras. In a word the property was stunning!
Some of the highlights included an exceptional Cherry kitchen with GRANITE counters, STAINLESS Appliances, and a custom pantry. There were hardwood floors throughout most of 1st floor including the Kitchen, Family room, Dining room, Entry, and the Master bedroom. The 1st floor was wide open with a beautiful cathedral family room with fireplace and tons of glass as well as a formal dining room. In addition to the master suite there was also a 2nd bedroom and full bath.
The 2nd floor included another spacious bedroom with two walk-in closets, a full bath, a loft area perfect for reading or watching TV and also another "flex" room that could be an office or used as a guest bedroom in a pinch.
The finished lower level was done with the same level of quality as the upper levels. There was a large media area, office, 1/2 bath & Extra storage space. Given the fact that this unit was a former model, there were many upgrades you would not find standard in the units that are being built or already sold. Some of the upgrades included upgraded woodwork ~ Moldings, Wainscoting, French Doors and hardwood floors. ![]()
The townhome has 2324 square feet on the 1st two floors and about 750 square feet in the lower level for a total of approximately 3050 square feet!! The are 9 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The monthly condo fee at Forest Hills as of September 2009 is $302. Forest Hills is a very popular Grafton neighborhood and offers great access to major routes including the Mass Pike.

Ashland MA Real Estate ~ Just Sold 39 Shore Road Ashland Massachusetts. Listed at $184,900 and sold at $130,000 by Bill Gassett RE/MAX Executive Realty. Closed on October 7, 2009.




This Ashland Massachusetts home was certainly what you would describe as a "fixer upper" or "handyman special".
After going through a home inspection it was discovered that the home had a structural issue as well as old termite damage. This is the reason why you see such a disparate difference between the list and sale price for the property. The new owner is a building contractor who is willing to deal with the issues.
The attraction with this Shore Road home is the neighborhood in which it is located. The Shore Road subdivision has an excellent location on the Ashland/Framingham town line. There is a nice blend of colonial's, cape's, ranches and split levels in this well kept Ashland neighborhood.
This particular home had a total of six rooms, three bedrooms and one full bath. There was approximately 1236 square feet. The lot is .36 acres.
While this home did need quite a bit of work, the neighborhood certainly supports a complete renovation or even a tear down.
The property was a great opportunity for a contractor to come and take a home in need of a lot of work and make something out of it. These are the kind of opportunities that investors love!
A special thanks goes out to Active Rain Real Estate member Jay Mcgillicuddy at Prudential Verani Real Estate in NH who referred this listing to me.
