Built 2002. 2+ car garage w/ driveway space for 4 more. Finished basement w/ one bedroom. A/C was making a clicking noise like a running dryer. Side exit to concrete patio w/ tiny, shaded yard defined by cinder-block wall w/ drainage pipes. Looks like water drains from other yards to here. Minimal front yard. Front entrance probably not used except for guests. MBR tub was dingy. No stairs from garage to basement.

  "Party" house. Open, spacious dining/kitchen/family rooms w/ double-door opening to covered patio and manicured yard w/ pool and hot tub. Living room/entry way also connected.

• 6 Countryside Rd, Natick - $600 (Sold for $550)
  Driveway needs repair. Needs serious updating. Older windows. Floors need refinishing. Older-style layout. Walk-though bathroom to main 1st floor bedroom. Decent size kitchen (12x12), but needs serious updating. Huge, oddly-shaped lot. Lots of space, but need to spend big $$$ to modernize.
• 10 Harvard St, Natick - $480 (Sold for $462.5)
  6 room, 1900s Colonial in decent shape. Older windows. Sloping floors. Grilles for forced air still in place, but heat is hot water baseboard/gas. Electric stove but gas in house. Nice deck (though needs stripping/refinishing) and back yard. Yard is on the small side. Granite counter. Floors in good, but not great shape.
• 400 School St, Wellesley - $745 (Sold for $738)
  Quaint expanded cape off Rt. 9. Rt. 9 very easy to hear from yard. 1-2 beds down, 2 beds up. Nicely renovated kitchen, but constrained, might be difficult for classes. Nice, flat back yard w/ shade. Floor plan somewhat closed. Finished basement, but low ceilings. Step down from kitchen to extension living room. Tight stairwell. Not very practical (even ignoring the price!).
