Welcome to this spacious and thoughtfully expanded 3+ bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch nestled in one of Acton’s quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods. Set on a private, nature-filled lot, this home offers a wonderful combination of comfortable living, flexible spaces, and room to grow.

The main-level living room features a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming space to gather. The updated kitchen offers generous cabinetry, a brand-new stove, dining area, dedicated desk space, and a convenient wine bar. Just off the kitchen, the spacious great room offers a versatile additional living space with soaring ceilings, ideal for everyday living, play, work, or entertaining. A practical mudroom with half bath keeps the busy areas of the home organized. Both rooms feature radiant heat for added comfort. With generous space throughout, the bedrooms provide comfort and versatility rarely found in a ranch-style home.
