Listing broker remarks

Handcrafted oak timber-frame, where premium oak beams and intricate joinery bring warmth to soaring cathedral ceilings. Windows frame panoramic wooded views, keeping living space bright and efficient, highlighting spaces built for gathering, creativity, and connection. The finished, walk-out lower level offers in-law or multigenerational potential: two private rooms, patio access, a full bath, open area for kitchen, dining, and living room. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite has a walk-in closet, sitting area, and ensuite bath with laundry, joined by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. A 400 sq ft studio, a generator transfer switch, and a fully renovated 1,000 sq ft workshop/garage (2026) with EV outlet expand the possibilities for makers, collectors, and recreation. Close to Boston commuter rail, colleges, schools and walking paths. 5 secluded, wooded acres invite a potential private compound, ADU, or future expansion, subject to town approvals and buyer due diligence.— eXp Realty
