Description

This classic colonial is a gracious and inviting home. The cozy family room has been the favorite of the current owners, with its fireplace and rustic wide pine flooring. There is a fireplace in the spacious eat-in kitchen as well, and French doors opening to the three-season porch. In the dining room, a built-in corner cabinet is reminiscent of a bygone era. The home has a large master suite with a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a brand new vanity. And best of all, it has a fireplace;...This classic colonial is a gracious and inviting home. The cozy family room has been the favorite of the current owners, with its fireplace and rustic wide pine flooring. There is a fireplace in the spacious eat-in kitchen as well, and French doors opening to the three-season porch. In the dining room, a built-in corner cabinet is reminiscent of a bygone era. The home has a large master suite with a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a brand new vanity. And best of all, it has a fireplace; so romantic! Outdoors, the property is equally charming. Granite stairs and stone wall grace the front of the house, and the yard features several perennial gardens and an arbor planted with flowering vines. There is also a vegetable garden with a raspberry patch. Conveniently located within a mile of West Acton Village, and the Guggins Brook Conservation Area right at the end of the street. A truly lovely home, inside and out, with so many great features!
