83 Desoto Rd

This Colonial offers a flexible layout with multiple living areas, including a lower level set up for in-law or extended-family use. The home has appealing period character, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a farmer’s porch, while also including updated bathroom fixtures and practical appliances. Outdoor space is a strength, with a fenced backyard, patio, and garden area. Buyers should investigate the age-related condition of major systems and clarify several listing details before relying on the stated information.

PROS
- Flexible floor plan with a bonus room/home office and lower-level living area with bedroom and full bath.
- Three full bathrooms, including one on the main level and one in the lower level.
- Hardwood floors, high ceilings, and Colonial character add appeal.
- Fenced backyard with patio and garden area supports outdoor use.
- Commuter-friendly description notes access to Washington Street, bus service to Forest Hills Station, Legacy Place, and nearby parks.

CONS
- Built in 1920, so buyers should carefully review the condition of structure, systems, roof, plumbing, and electrical.
- No garage spaces listed, and parking information is not provided.
- Lower-level in-law/extended-family setup should be verified for legality, egress, and permitted use.
- Listing data shows lot size acres as 4900.0 while lot size is also listed as 4900.0, which appears inconsistent and should be clarified.
- Description references an offer deadline of Monday October 26 while the listing is active, so timing should be confirmed.
