Listing broker remarks

Love where you live! Set in the scenic town of Princeton, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath New England home offers 2,760 sq. ft. of living space with generous sized rooms and a great layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A bonus room over the garage adds valuable flexibility for a home office, playroom, media room, gym or potential in-law area. Step outside to the screened porch, a perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The wooded lot provides plenty of privacy, complemented by beautifully manicured landscaping. Thoughtful improvements add to the home’s appeal, including newer Harvey windows (2024), a new driveway and walkway (2024), gutter guards (2021) and low-maintenance vinyl siding. But the lifestyle here extends well beyond the house. Princeton is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, with Wachusett Mountain nearby for skiing and hiking, along with miles of trails and beautiful places to explore throughout town. You are also only 2 miles from one of the Leominster State Forest Trails off Justice Hill Cutoff and from Stuart Pond in Sterling which allows fishing and non-motorized paddling, including canoeing and kayaking. Families will also appreciate Princeton’s elementary and middle school learning environment, which incorporates a STEM-focused approach to education. With plenty of room to spread out, a versatile floor plan, privacy and four-season recreation close by, this is a home—and a location—you’ll want to experience in person!— Karen Packard Real Estate Inc.
