Listing broker remarks

Looking for a cozy home that gives you the freedom of a house without the maintenance that usually comes with one? This quiet 1-bedroom, 1-bath home sits near the end of a paved, publicly maintained dead-end road, offering a private, wooded setting while keeping you close to Worcester, major medical centers, colleges, and commuter routes.Inside, the 19' x 17' main bedroom gives you room for a king-sized bed, a large reach-in closet, and a picture window looking toward Flint Pond. The pond is also visible from the kitchen, with seasonal views opening up beautifully through the surrounding woods. The 14' x 10' kitchen features a passthrough with breakfast bar seating, while the 18' x 14' living room offers plenty of space to create a dedicated eating area, home office, or whatever fits your lifestyle.The full bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, with the washer and dryer conveniently located on the main level. Newly refinished living room floors add a fresh touch, while ductless mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling, with electric baseboard heat for supplemental warmth. A full-height partial basement provides useful storage without giving you another level of living space to maintain.Outside, the .28-acre lot combines a small, manageable lawn with wooded surroundings, so you can enjoy the privacy without spending your weekends maintaining a large yard. Bring your pets without the restrictions often found with apartment living.And then there’s the location. UMass Chan Medical School is approximately 5 miles away, UMass Memorial Medical Center about 6 miles, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine just 3 miles, WPI approximately 7 miles, and Worcester State University about 7.6 miles. Route 20 is only 1.5 miles away, with the Mass Pike entrance approximately 3 miles from home.Whether you're a first-time buyer, medical professional, student, relocating buyer, or someone looking for a home that could eventually become an income-producing property, this one offers something simple: a place to call home with the freedom of a house and the maintenance footprint of an apartment.— Real Broker MA, LLC
