Listing broker remarks

Northeast-facing and set well back on a private, wooded 0.77-acre lot in north Shrewsbury, this 5-bedroom Colonial offers nearly 4,900 square feet across three levels. A two-story foyer opens to formal living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, coffered ceiling, and wainscoting. The chef's kitchen with Viking appliances, granite, and center island flows into a sunken family room with fireplace and Brazilian cherry floors. The main level also includes a dedicated office with built-ins and a four-season sunroom with a ductless mini-split. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a spa-style bath, walk-in closet, and private bonus room, plus three bedrooms and two full baths. The walk-out lower level adds a rec room, fifth bedroom, and full bath. Updates include central air, newer water heater, and whole-house water filtration. Composite deck overlooking a level yard with wooded views. Minutes to Route 9, golf, and Mass Pike access.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
