Located at the end of a cherished cul-de-sac off lower Monument Street, this 10-room gem enjoys a rare combination: the easy interaction of a welcoming, active neighborhood with the serenity of a peaceful setting in back. Inside, glass-wrapped walls, a prime due-south orientation and an open, private backyard create an exceptional connection to nature from nearly every room. Beautiful hardwood floors and a thoughtful floor plan provide an inviting backdrop for both relaxed family living and gracious entertaining. At the heart of the home is a spectacular family room, where 10’ windows, a dramatic vaulted ceiling and three sets of sliders quite literally bring the outdoors in. The result is an extraordinarily light-filled space in every season regardless of weather. A gas-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance, creating a cozy retreat on snowy afternoons and crisp New England days. Adjacent is the impressive 26’ kitchen, thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, a wet bar, command central work desk, breakfast bar and casual dining area with an inviting window seat. A year-round sunroom follows, offering an idyllic spot for morning coffee or a quiet read, with ten windows framing serene garden views that are also enjoyed from the adjacent office.Gracing the front of the house, the fireplaced living room and formal dining room open naturally to one another, creating an elegant yet comfortable setting for entertaining small and large crowds alike. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a remarkable 27’ primary suite with three closets and a generously sized bath with wallk in shower and double vanity in addition to reading nook lined with bookshelves.The walkout lower level extends the living space with a fireplaced recreation room, systems room, workshop and a spacious two-car garage. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with recent updates including a Viessmann boiler (2020), new AC units (2016) and roof (2015).Outside, the open, level grounds unfold into beautiful, tiered gardens, a water feature and a 23’ x 12’ deck, all enveloped by a lovely, mature landscape. Sidewalks lead to Concord Center and the Depot, while a nearby path connects to the Great Meadows Wildlife Refuge. A home of uncommon warmth & livability, this exceptional haven seamlessly blends the pleasures of cul-de-sac neighborhood life with the peace and beauty of nature— it embodies a lifestyle that is deeply sought and increasingly rare.
