About this home

Situated on nearly a ½ acre lot just a stone's throw from Killam Elementary School, 20 Boswell Rd. is on the market for the first time in over 50 years, offering its new owners a comfortable and welcoming space inside and out. At a quick glance, a seemingly traditional New England Cape complete with an eat-in kitchen, full bathroom, a formal dining room with built-in shelving, and a living room with a bay window and a fireplace. But continue down the hall and you’ll find the real highlight of the property: an absolutely stunning great room with soaring vaulted-ceilings, skylights, and French doors that lead to the equally impressive outdoor space featuring a stately back porch, brick patio, and large backyard. Upstairs you’ll find the second bathroom and three bedrooms including the oversized primary with two built-out closets. All of this on a picture-perfect cul-de-sac with easy access to I-95 and I-93, Memorial Park, the commuter rail, and downtown with shops and restaurants.
