Welcome to 12 Barnard Rd, a lovely raised ranch located in the desirable Mount Vernon section of South Lawrence. This home offers a very nice and comfortable layout with beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the main level, good natural light, and an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The finished lower level provides valuable additional space with tile flooring, offering flexibility for a home office, hobby area, playroom, and/or guest space. The home has had some updates over time and also offers a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to make personal updates and create a space that truly feels like their own. Set on a spacious fenced in lot, the backyard is one of the property's standout features, with room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, play, or simply enjoying the yard. The property also includes an inground pool, currently not operational and in need of repair, offering future potential for the next owner. Located close to Mount Vernon Park and convenient to shopping, area amenities, I-495, Route 114, and the Lawrence commuter rail, this home offers a desirable neighborhood setting with everyday convenience. With its hardwood floors, finished lower-level space, generous fenced yard, and Mount Vernon location, there is a lot to appreciate here.
