Offering 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home features a flexible floor plan with two bedrooms on the first floor (bedrooms and low-lipped shower allow for aging in place on ground level) and three additional bedrooms upstairs, making it ideal for a variety of living arrangements. The welcoming first floor includes an oversized mudroom, convenient laundry area, full bath, and a fireplaced living room perfect for cozy New England evenings. The open-concept kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home, showcasing exposed beams, abundant built-ins, and the warmth and craftsmanship only a home of this era can provide. Step outside to enjoy the enclosed front porch, private back deck, and hot tub overlooking a peaceful backyard surrounded by mature trees that offer welcome shade. With the home's southwest-facing orientation, the property also presents excellent potential for solar panels thanks to its abundant sun exposure.

The barn itself offers endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future creative use. Conveniently located just 0.75 miles from the commuter rail and minutes from shopping, dining, and Route 2, this property offers the perfect balance of country charm and commuter convenience.
