About This Home
Every square inch of this first floor apartment in a two family1860’s house in the Highland/Washington Street area of Ayer has been completely restored and renovated. It is conveniently located between Route 2 and 495 for easy travel, and within walking distance of the downtown commuter rail.
Six month lease (Mid October to mid-April) with Option to extend.
Can be delivered furnished or partly furnished for those deciding on their next move.
This quiet leafy neighborhood is close to downtown, great for walking or jogging and ‘round the corner from great restaurants, our favorite coffee place and close to bike trails. It is two miles from the Groton Music Center (where national acts perform), and two miles from the entrance to Fort Devens.
The home is geared toward being a tranquil working and living space and includes a large open plan kitchen and living room with expansive bay windows, a sitting room with bay windows (which can also be used as a bedroom) and two bedrooms. The area is exceptionally quiet (one way street), so if you need to work from home, not only does the apartment lend itself to being reconfigured into workable space, it’s also ideal for those projects that require peace and quiet. In addition, the back bedroom is soundproofed (previously used as a music studio) so it can be used as a super-quiet office space for meetings or even recording a podcast!
The double paned doors from this room open out onto the back brick patio and a covered pagoda.
All rooms are tastefully decorated in neutral colors and the space is bright and airy with an expansive shared back yard and lovely garden spaces with plenty of outdoor shaded seating.
Updated high efficiency heating system (gas boiler and baseboard radiators), new high-insulation double paned windows throughout, newly insulated and wired for high speed internet service. In apartment laundry. Private off-street parking available for two cars. A rare gem!
The house is being rented for from mid-October to mid-April with an option to extend.
There is an option to rent the home furnished, semi-furnished or empty.
This is an ideal opportunity for those new to the area or looking for a comfortable home to live in while exploring their options.
