About This Home

As of April 2023

Centrally located in Acton center, you can walk to various amenities in town center. Easy commute to Route 2. Nice cape style house in move-in condition. House has been updated over the last few years, "on-demand" heating and hot water systems, floors, kitchen cabinets, bathrooms and septic system. It also comes with a bonus one-acre parcel of land in the back. This house is one of the lowest price single family properties in Acton, a much better alternative than a townhome. It has great potential.
