Built in the 1890’s, this beautiful, single-family home is one of the few bungalows in Worcester Common Ground’s (WCG) catchment area. WCG acquired the property in 2010 and began rehabilitation in 2012, as part of its Austin Corridor II project. WCG was committed both to integrating modern, sustainable materials and maintaining the historical integrity of the building; the organization was able to improve energy efficiency of the building, for example, while re-creating such features as the wood shingling on the building. 3 Bancroft’s particular charm is its urban livability; it combines walkability (it is within short walking distance of the bus routes, stores and restaurants of Chandler Street) with green space; the property boasts a small side yard for tenant use. 3 Bancroft is managed by Maloney Properties and rental inquiries can be directed to (508) 752-0833.
