Listing broker remarks

Wake up to sparkling water views from every room. Sip morning coffee and enjoy the wildlife from your deck. River views can be enjoyed from nearly every room and are especially striking from the expansive glass-enclosed sunroom where the landscape changes with the season. Recent upgrades include a new roof, HVAC, full interior and exterior painting, windows, doors, and more. The open, flexible layout is ideal for entertaining, creative living, and working from home. Set among lush perennial gardens, this unique home offers abundant privacy and a peaceful natural backdrop. A truly special home in an extraordinary natural setting. Ideally located with easy access to Wellesley Center and minutes from South Natick, Elm Bank Reservation, and the historic Bacon Free Library.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
