Welcome to 47 Hancock St, a charming gem known as the "Dollhouse," where classic elegance meets contemporary convenience. From soaring ceilings and built-ins galore to a remodeled kitchen and open-concept family room, this home is the perfect blend of old and new. Most of this antique home has been redone, (furnace, hot water, roof, electrical) but the charm remains! Nestled in the heart of Auburndale with a welcoming front porch and spacious yard, this is more than just a house—it’s a piece of history waiting for its next chapter. Auburndale is a special community with easy access to local shops, restaurants, schools (including Lasell Univ), the Pike and the train at Riverside Station. If you want a home with immense character, and space for entertaining or for a big family, this is it!
