Welcome to 342 Rively Avenue, a solid brick 3-bedroom 1-bath row, brimming with opportunity.  This home has been lovingly cared for by one family for over 65 years.  Strongly built, economical with newer gas heat and hot water (and the adjoining homes helping to heat or cool your house) this property offers incredible opportunity for both homeowners and investor alike.  Inside, you’ll find a classic straight-through layout, filled with natural light, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. There's plenty of useful space in these homes, and under carpet is good old fashioned oak hardwood.  Many folks merge the kitchen and dining room into one huge and delightful space.  Upstairs is the classic warner-west design of 3 bedroom and a full bath with skylight.  The full unfinished basement offers ample space for storage or additional living potential - a blank canvas for the imaginative.  Meanwhile the garage and fenced backyard give convenience and a little green outside space.  You’ll love the convenience of being within walking distance to parks and some local stores, with Springfield and Providence roads providing quick access to everything else you need.
