Listing broker remarks

Hardy Pond is just up the street. Close enough to walk to, close enough to feel it — the quiet, the light, the way the neighborhood just settles down near water. The house itself sits at the corner of Hiawatha and Indian Road, tucked into a residential pocket that somehow still gets you to Routes 128, 90, and 2 in minutes. That combination — genuinely calm street, genuinely useful location — is harder to find than it sounds.Inside, the main level just flows. Fireplaced living room. Granite island kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Dining area that opens straight to the deck and backyard — easy living, easy entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite has a full bath and room to actually breathe. Second bedroom and guest bath, all on the same level. Third floor is whatever you need it to be — guest room, office, the quiet space you've been promising yourself. Downstairs, high ceilings in an unfinished lower level. Blank canvas. Do something with it, or don't — it works either way.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
