Motivated seller! Welcome home to this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath Colonial, cherished by the same family for more than 50 years. Nestled in the heart of Grafton within the Midview School District, you'll enjoy being just a short stroll from downtown shops, the library, and local community events. Inside, timeless character meets everyday comfort with a welcoming front parlor that opens to the covered porch, a formal dining room, and a cozy kitchen featuring beautiful solid wood built-in cabinetry. A bright garden nook provides the perfect spot for morning coffee. Outside, established perennial gardens create colorful blooms throughout the seasons, adding beauty and curb appeal year after year. The home includes all appliances, including a newer refrigerator, gas stove, freezer, washer, and dryer. Additional included items are three safes, toolboxes, and basement shelving. Major updates include a renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower (2018), hot water tank (2018), and roof replacement (2005). The furnace and central air have been well maintained. A pre-inspection report is available upon request, and the home is being sold as-is. With its historic character, beautiful perennial landscaping, convenient location, and decades of pride in ownership, this special home is ready for its next chapter.
