About this home

Nestled in a sought-after neighborhood, this meticulously maintained Straight Front Colonial is set on a beautiful private lot with easy access to highways and the town center and is also located in the top-rated Acton-Boxborough school district. Inside, a welcoming foyer flows into a spacious living and dining area, ideal for gatherings. The comfortable kitchen opens to a 232-SF screened porch (not included in the total living area) and an adjoining deck, perfect for al fresco dining or morning coffee with peaceful surroundings. The first floor also features a half bath, laundry and access to the oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, the main bedroom boasts hardwood floors and ensuite bath, while three additional bedrooms share an updated full bath. The expansive unfinished basement offers potential for 1092 SF of additional living space. Converted to gas with a new Viessmann Heating System in October 2024.
