The first-floor bedroom or office with a full bath allows for flexible living or an easy handicap-accessible option. Additional highlights include a grand foyer, spa-like bathroom, separate laundry room, two fireplaces (one with a wood stove insert), attic storage, a newer roof, low-maintenance vinyl siding, and spacious 2-car garage. Outdoors, enjoy a wraparound deck, front sun deck, patio, fenced-in yard, and a lush backyard with a fruit orchard, perennial gardens, potting shed, and a peaceful stream-ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Located just a short walk to Taunton Lake and town parks, and minutes from I-84, the town center & top-rated schools.
