This timeless colonial built in 1884 offers the perfect blend of antique charm with modern day conveniences. 9 gracious rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms sit atop more than half an acre that overlooks several acres of wooded conservation land.

The second floor boasts large en suite primary bedroom with double closets and 3 additional generous bedrooms and 2nd full bath. The third floor is flexible and includes a charming bedroom, sitting room and full bath. A 2018 renovation brought the addition of a mudroom, laundry, family room, deck, walk-out basement, patio and paved/cobblestoned circular drive. With close proximity to the scenic Charles River and Rail Trail, an easy ride to the train and Route 95, this home is ideally located!
