Listing broker remarks

Turnkey, thoughtfully updated, and designed to make everyday living easy, this charming Colonial packs a lot into its well-utilized footprint. Step inside and you’re immediately drawn to the beautifully appointed kitchen with shaker cabinetry, gorgeous tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and plenty of storage. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light, while warm hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and central air add to its comfortable, easy feel. The first floor flows naturally from the living and dining rooms to an incredibly practical mudroom, giving everyday essentials a place to land, plus a half bath and conveniently located laundry. Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and a perfectly placed office nook make smart use of the space. Outside, the backyard feels like its own little retreat, with a patio and charming pergola, room to entertain, and the perfect spot for a hammock. Recent improvements, including a NEW ROOF, Cedar Impressions/vinyl siding, and hot water tank, add meaningful value and peace of mind, while a garage, ample parking and basement storage check even more boxes. Nestled just moments from vibrant downtown Wakefield, Lake Quannapowitt, Breakheart Reservation, the commuter rail, shops, dining and the farmer's market, this home puts the best of this community within easy reach.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
