House hunting in Woburn? This $850,000 colonial has more rooms than its square footage suggests

74 Fletcher Road | North Woburn, Massachusetts 

Four-bedroom homes for sale in Woburn are not rare. Four-bedroom homes with a renovated kitchen, a first-floor bedroom, a sunroom, a finished lower level, and a quarter-acre lot are a much shorter list.

74 Fletcher Road is on that list, and it's listed at $850,000.

The number that will make you hesitate is 1,824 square feet of above-grade living space. That's the wrong number to judge this house by. The right number is eight, as in eight rooms, plus another 624 finished square feet downstairs. This is a house with places to go, not a house with one big place to be.

If you've spent this fall touring open-concept homes where the only door is on the bathroom, you already know why that distinction matters.

The renovated kitchen is already done

Quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, updated cabinetry, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and a peninsula with seating, all of it open to the dining room.

That's a project you are not doing, not permitting, and not living through. The usual alternative at this price is more square footage attached to a kitchen you'll want to gut in year two. Decide which of those two trades you actually want, because you're making one of them.

Not every room needs to open into every other room

The living room has a fireplace, hardwood floors, and custom built-ins. It's a real room with real walls.

Then there's the sunroom, windows on three sides, wood ceiling, looking out at trees instead of a neighbor's siding. It's the coffee room and the reading room, and it's the one most people remember on the drive home.

Looking for a four-bedroom in Woburn with a first-floor bedroom? Here's one

Three bedrooms upstairs, including a primary that runs roughly 14 by 18 feet, which is genuinely large for a 1950 colonial. There's a cedar closet in the upstairs hallway, which tells you something about how this house has been kept.

The fourth bedroom is on the first floor. It's compact, about 9 by 9, so be honest with yourself about the use. It's an excellent home office, nursery, or guest room, and a tight fit for a teenager. The point is you don't have to give up an upstairs bedroom to have a door you can close during a work call.

The finished basement, described accurately

Roughly 624 finished square feet with interior access, laundry, and a remodeled full bath. It's set up now as a hangout and sleeping space, and the finish work is better than most basements I walk through.

The honest part: it isn't heated, it's excluded from the reported 1,824 square feet, and it was finished before the current owners bought the house. Price it in your head as bonus space, not as a fifth bedroom. If you want it fully conditioned year-round, get a mini-split quote before you write your offer rather than after.

The lot, the garage, and the parking

Just under a third of an acre, 12,632 square feet, with a storage shed. Attached one-car garage plus two off-street spaces on a paved drive, totaling three parking spaces. 

Why buyers look at North Woburn

Access to Interstate 93 and Route 95, which puts Boston, Burlington, and most of the 128 employers within a reasonable drive. Woburn Village, shopping, restaurants, parks, and public transportation are all close by.

It's a residential street that isn't cut off from anything. That combination is most of why people search North Woburn specifically instead of Woburn generally.

What I'd tell you in the driveway

Oil heat, and no central air. I'm telling you before you ask, because it's the first question at this price point. The radiators work and the house holds heat, but cooling beyond window units means a mini-split budget. 

The sellers need to find suitable housing, and that's written into the listing. This means the closing timeline is a conversation; your timeline and theirs have to line up.
