About this home
Beautifully updated Col on a quiet side street in a top commuter location that includes an accessory building with heat and AC, vaulted beamed ceiling and is an ideal home office, media room, game room or an upscale playhouse for the kids! The main house features a stunning kitchen w/a large quartz topped island and countertops, farmers sink, recessed lighting and gas convection oven. The open concept on the first floor is impressive and the living room hosts a large window that bathes the space in natural light. A renovated three quarter bath serves the first floor and a spa like bath on the second floor is sure to impress and features an oversize walk-in shower with a large rain head, high end tile floors and walls and a marble topped vanity. Walkable to two commuter rail stops or a quick bus ride to the T and Rt. 93 is just up the street. Two parks and the Middlesex Fells Reservation which offers hiking and canoeing or sailing are also nearby. This move-in ready home will not last!
