    What's special

    Set far back from the street on almost an acre of land is this inviting, contemporary farmhouse style home with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The home was substantially renovated in 2010 and offers a mudroom which leads into a large, sunny family room with cathedral ceilings, adjoins an open kitchen/dining area with french doors that lead to a huge exterior deck overlooking the massive yard. Completing the 1st floor is a bedroom/office with a connecting full bath and a living room. There are three 2nd floor bedrooms and the 2nd full bath with double vanity. The systems were replaced in 2010 including the roof, heat/central air, doors and windows. Convenient to public transportation with the Express Bus by the end of the driveway or the commuter rail which is about 1 mile away. A wonderful place to call home.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
