Listing broker remarks

Some homes are defined by their interiors alone. This one offers something far rarer — a home where timeless New England charm is matched by the beauty of its surroundings. Set in the coveted West Village, this private retreat is surrounded by lush grounds featuring mature fruit trees, berry bushes, raised garden beds, a charming chicken coop, and custom playhouse/shed. Inside, sun-filled interiors showcase hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, crown molding, curated designer lighting, and an open layout designed for effortless living and entertaining. The granite kitchen flows seamlessly into the expansive family room, while the elegant living room with wood stove insert and formal dining room add warmth and sophistication. A spacious primary suite, flexible third-floor bonus room, finished lower level, fully owned solar panels and garage EV hookup complete this exceptional property. Just moments from local cafés, conservation trails, and under 40 minutes from Boston.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
