Property description

SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Breathtaking, sweeping river views from every rear-facing window of this sophisticated, spacious ranch. Over 500 feet of Charles River frontage with granite steps to river. Set on over an acre of glorious grounds, the first-floor master suite has cathedral ceilings, double walk-in closets, and access to a separate stone patio and screened porch. The eat-in kitchen has granite countertops and opens to a fireplace dining area and sunroom with a wet-bar and a remarkable panorama of the winding Charles River. There is a spacious living room with a fireplace and French doors. There are two additional generous-sized bedrooms (one ensuite). The basement offers an additional 2300 square feet of potential to renovate for additional family/work-out/workshop/home office space. This home was renovated in 2000, substantially expanded and since then has been well-maintained with upgraded systems. The grounds feature specimen plantings, mature trees & flowering perennials.
