Description

Calling all first-time buyers, downsizers and anyone looking for single level living in a fantastic West Acton neighborhood! Much larger than it appears from the outside, this adorable bungalow home will be the perfect setting for all of your get-togethers! A front-to-back family room with decorative beams and a bay window overlooking the private backyard anchors the main living level and is just steps away from the kitchen with its pretty pine cabinets and Stainless appliances (can you say gas range?)....Calling all first-time buyers, downsizers and anyone looking for single level living in a fantastic West Acton neighborhood! Much larger than it appears from the outside, this adorable bungalow home will be the perfect setting for all of your get-togethers! A front-to-back family room with decorative beams and a bay window overlooking the private backyard anchors the main living level and is just steps away from the kitchen with its pretty pine cabinets and Stainless appliances (can you say gas range?). The dining area is tucked around the corner next to the den and its cozy wood-burning brick fireplace. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit at the rear of the house, the third bedroom (or home office? Playroom? Crafter’s paradise?) is up on the second floor. Title V approved, Forced Hot Air ( adding central AC will be a breeze!) and Natural Gas as well as proximity to the MBTA to Boston and Cambridge and the Acton Boxborough school campuses make this one of those "not to be missed" homes!
