About This Home

As of July 2022

There’s just too much to say about this updated craftsmen-style home in the heart of charming West Acton village.

It’s the perfect home if you like to take a stroll to shops, dining, award-winning schools, public transportation or for a little bit of spirits. The spacious first floor has plenty of room for the family to spread out – the kitchen is open concept with soapstone counters overlooking a sunlight bonus room and casual dining area perfect for entertaining. In addition, there’s a living room, dining room, office, full bath and a great three-season room to make into your own special space (currently a gym). Four bedrooms round out the upstairs with a laundry room and dressing area in the main suite. Newly added air conditioning so you don’t have to worry about those humid August nights. Come see this special home and location!
