CHARMING HOME IN PRIVATE SETTING! This one-owner home combines the charm of yesteryear with today's most sought-after conveniences. The home boasts a fireplace, 2 wood stoves & solar panels for hot water with boiler backup. The kitchen's soapstone counters were added 6 years ago & the kitchen opens up to the warm & cozy family room. There's an inviting screened porch with lots of natural light (2001) that looks out on the private back yard and stone walls. The dining room addition was done in 1994 and has french doors out to the screened porch.  Gutter helmets were installed to reduce routine maintenance chores. Nature lovers will enjoy the Sterling Conservation Woodland out back, the view of Wachusett mountain & winter vistas to the west. The town's designated hiking trails are within just a half mile. The home's 2.6 acres feature mature gardens on a quiet, secluded idyllic spot.  This home has been lovingly maintained & is just waiting for you to make it yours!
