Listing broker remarks

Ideally located just south of Ashland Center and adjacent to Ashland State Park, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy all that this vibrant community has to offer—at a truly rare price point. Built in 1955, this charming Garrison Colonial features a fireplaced living room just off the entry, three bedrooms, and a spacious full bath. Just across the street, the Warren Center and Henry’s Place add another layer of convenience and recreation, with local residents able to take advantage of the Warren Center’s community club amenities, including pickleball, tennis, disc golf, trails, and select waterfront activities, while Henry’s Place offers a casual spot for coffee, lunch, dinner, or drinks. Ashland offers an appealing blend of small-town charm, outdoor recreation, and convenient MetroWest access, with parks, trails, local shops and restaurants, community events, and year-round recreational programs. The location also provides easy access to major routes and the MBTA Commuter Rail, making Boston and Worcester convenient destinations. Families are drawn to Ashland for its highly regarded public schools and strong sense of community.— Engel & Volkers Wellesley
