About This Home

As of July 2023

Don’t miss out on this modern farmhouse colonial, a seamless blend of the old and new with an abundance of charm and character. The recent addition features an in-law suite with no stairs which has been crafted to the highest standard and includes a living room with kitchenette, cathedral-ceiling bedroom, full bath & large closet. This versatile space could also be used as a luxurious first-floor master, or an au pair/guest suite. The renovations, with emphasis on accessibility and low maintenance, include spacious mud & laundry rooms, 3-car garage, updated siding, roof, 4 zone HVAC and windows throughout. There are 3 additional bedrooms upstairs, with the option of adding a new master suite in the large, unfinished space which is already plumbed. A generous first-floor layout, with an open kitchen/family room, breakfast room, office, and formal living and dining rooms, completes this special home. Located on a cul-de-sac close to town, train & Selleck Woods nature preserve.
