Currently outfitted with a wood stove for a cozy workshop environment, the space can easily be adjusted to accommodate a fourth vehicle. Above the garage, you’ll find a bright, multi-purpose suite complete with a small kitchen, a full bathroom, and a loft. Whether you envision a private guest quarters, studio or a secondary professional office, this space adapts to your needs. Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. The mostly-cleared lot features mature flower beds and a large, open yard perfect for outdoor activities. A substantial shed provides ample room for bikes and equipment, keeping the aesthetic clean and organized. It’s a home that feels like a private sanctuary, perfectly positioned to take in the serene, wooded surroundings while remaining remarkably close to Harvard’s vibrant town center with the award-winning schools, the local library, and the picturesque town beach at Bare Hill Pond.
