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!
