Listing broker remarks

Welcome home to Whitinsville. This sunny ranch sits on a flat lot on a dead end road, and it greets you the right way, with a front porch made for morning coffee and evening hellos. Step inside to a warm living room anchored by a fireplace, with hardwood floors that carry through all three bedrooms. Everything you need lives on one level, and every bedroom has its own closet. Light pours in throughout, keeping the whole home bright and easy. The kitchen opens to an inviting dinning room and also allows exterior access to garage and backyard. Out back, a covered porch looks over a fully fenced yard framed by mature arborvitaes. It's your own private retreat for slow weekends, gardening, play, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Comfort comes built in. A young high efficiency condensing gas boiler and on demand hot water keep the home cozy and efficient year round. The one car garage adds additional storage, and the large basement offers a workbench, bulkhead access, and good ceiling height for future finished space. A walk up attic provides even more storage and room to grow down the line. Tucked into a neighborhood setting yet close to major routes, this is an easy place to come home to, whether you're just starting out or simplifying what comes next.— Northbound Realty Co
