About This Home

As of October 2025

Stunning updates merge with thoughtful engineering in this 4-bed colonial in coveted Minuteman Ridge! The sparkling new kitchen showcases custom shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, and an oversized island perfect for gathering. New gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout, complementing three wood-burning fireplaces and built-ins in both family and dining rooms. Beyond the aesthetic upgrades lies an impressive investment in protection: comprehensive water management including backyard excavation, professional drainage system and a triple backup sump pump, providing invaluable peace of mind. The transformed outdoor space features a welcoming patio and decorative stone wall that doubles as casual seating, a brick paver front walkway, surrounded by 65 new trees, shrubs and perennials. Located in sought-after Minuteman Ridge, with a private pool and year-round social events, this home sits adjacent to Acton's acclaimed schools. With West Acton Center just minutes away; this home is a gem!!!
