About This Home

As of October 2021

Aptly called Westview, this street offers beautiful mountain views as you approach this charming older home. Sellers have been meticulous in marrying nostalgia w/modern convenience in this well kept cape on this lovely shady street in Downtown Bedford. The current owners (the third) did extensive renovations in 2013-2014 updating the kitchen and breakfast nook, all baths, and creating a gracious master suite with adjacent laundry ensuring perfect first floor living. Also offered on the first floor is an additional full bath, office, LR, DR and family room. Second story boasts 2 large BRs with full bath; lower level is clean and dry with ample shelving for storage. Crown moulding, built-ins, hardwood and ceramic flooring throughout, ceiling fans, slate and standing seam roof all reflect the timeless quality of the home. So many social touches: side porch, extensive landscaping with private patios and dining spaces, water garden, custom fence, detached garage. OWNER AGENTS
