The one you’ve been waiting for: beautifully renovated, thoughtfully improved, and designed for effortless single-level living. This turnkey home offers the rare convenience of having everything you need on one main floor—living and dining spaces, bedrooms, a bathroom with tiled shower, and laundry—with valuable bonus space below and potentially above. At the heart of the home, a bright quartz kitchen with center island, lots of windows, stainless steel appliances and gas cooking makes everyday living and entertaining fun and easy. The elegant bathroom features a tiled shower, glass door and heated floor! Extensive improvements completed by previous owners include gas furnace replacement and gas lines, central AC, tankless hot water heater, ceiling refinishing, updated electrical, plumbing, insulation, and main floor laundry. Adding to the home’s efficiency, the Seller installed a 6.4 kW owned solar energy system in 2022, which produced over 7,600 kWh in 2025. An enormous full basement with tall ceilings, exceptional storage, and a dedicated work area offers tremendous flexibility and future potential. The renovated, insulated and heated garage is currently enjoyed as additional hobby/flex space and may also accommodate a small car. Outside, living extends to a beautiful stone paver patio with built-in fire pit and gas grill—an inviting setting for morning coffee, dinner outdoors, and crisp fall evenings. The fully fenced yard offers room for gardening, pets, play, and entertaining, as well as incredible sunsets year-round. Ideally situated between Middlesex Fells Reservation with lakes, trails and bike paths, and Main Street, with Whole Foods, Wyoming Hill Station, shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences just minutes from home. Move right in and enjoy a home that has already had the big work done—with easy living on one level, surprising bonus and storage space, outdoor living, and an exceptionally convenient location. Settle in before the holidays, and welcome home!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 537 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,074 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 5,001 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
