About this home

Set on a tranquil, tree-lined lot in Billerica's Nutting Lake neighborhood, this gambrel-roofed Cape pairs old New England charm with a yard built for entertaining. Beautiful wood siding, shuttered bay windows, and a covered front porch give the home real curb appeal, while a rugged fieldstone chimney rises through the roofline. Inside, 1,658 square feet is arranged across 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with skylights carried through nearly every room, pouring abundant natural light throughout the home from the kitchen to the primary suite. The main level centers on a living room anchored by a stone fireplace and original knotty-pine paneling, flowing directly into an adjoining office with a built-in desk and a wall of windows overlooking the backyard — a rare work-from-home setup tucked into the home's original footprint. Two bedrooms round out this level, while the eat-in kitchen and adjacent dining room are both lit by their own skylights, with a dedicated laundry room and direct yard access nearby. On the top floor, the primary suite claims the entire level: an oversized retreat with a vaulted, skylit ceiling, ceiling fan, bay window, expansive closet space, and a private en-suite bath with its own skylight.Below, the lower level adds real bonus space — a partially finished area with recessed lighting and dedicated storage rooms, ready to be finished out as a home office, den, or workshop.The real standout is the lot itself. Mature cedars and maples wrap the property in privacy, and out back the grounds unfold into three distinct patio spaces — a gravel lounge patio off the rear addition, a stone fire pit gathering area framed by a freestanding stone fireplace, and a flagstone garden path leading to a stacked-stone planting bed. Two separate side yards give even more room to spread out, and a paved driveway leads to the attached one-car garage, which doubles easily as a workshop. The location is a genuine draw. The home sits moments from Micozzi Beach on Nutting Lake, with swimming, kayak and paddleboard rentals, fishing, and a playground right on the water. The recently renovated Peggy Hannon-Rizza Recreation Complex offers turf and softball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and a community game plaza, right alongside the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Billerica. Commuters have quick access to Route 3, with connections to I-495 and I-95, and the North Billerica commuter rail station puts Boston within easy reach for those heading into the city.
