Listing broker remarks

Nestled on a quiet country road, this charming Gambrel-style home offers the perfect blend of character, space, and outdoor enjoyment. The level, sun-filled lot is framed by mature pine trees that provide just the right amount of shade while still leaving plenty of open lawn for recreation, gatherings, and outdoor entertaining. At the heart of the backyard is a beautiful in-ground pool, creating an ideal setting for summer relaxation and hosting family and friends. Stone walls add timeless New England charm, while a large detached barn/garage provides abundant storage and endless possibilities for hobbies, vehicles, or workshop space. Inside, the home features three bedrooms and two full baths, with hardwood flooring throughout most of the first floor and all of the second floor. The office could easily become a first floor bedroom beside the full bath for easy one floor living. While the kitchen and bathrooms offer an opportunity for updating, the home has been lovingly maintained and is ready for its next chapter. A bright and inviting family room overlooks the pool and features soaring cathedral ceilings, creating an open, airy atmosphere filled with natural light. The home is near Flerra Meadows (a hub for community activity in the summertime) and the award-winning Acton-Boxborough school system. The neighborhood bus stop is right at the corner of the driveway! Solidly built and full of potential, this property presents a wonderful opportunity to create the home of your dreams in a picturesque country setting. Open house Thursday, September 24 from 4-6 pm and Saturday, September 26 from 11 am until 1 pm.— Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest
