It is hard to know which season you will enjoy most in this gorgeous nine room, four bedroom, two and a half bath Colonial. Imagine cozying up to a fire burning in one of two fireplaces during autumn or watching the snow fall while in the cathedral-ceilinged family room in winter. Maybe it will be spring when the brook is babbling and the trees are full of returning birds, or summer as the deck beckons you to enjoy the privacy and coolness of the backyard. Sitting on over an acre lot in a sought-out Merrimac neighborhood, this home has a lovely open floor plan full of natural light and hardwood floors throughout. Primary bedroom has a fireplace, walk-in closet and bath. Glass sliders lead to both a private deck and patio with a backyard surrounded by trees, abutting Cobblers Brook. Within easy walking distance to the elementary school, rail trail and Merrimac Square. Located on a cul-de-sac. In the Pentucket School system. Great driving proximity to the beaches and mountains.
