Are you looking for a warm and welcoming home, that you can move right into and enjoy? Then look no further than 4 Bates Avenue. Tucked away on a quiet side street that is walkable to town, you will find this great updated Colonial. A front porch greets you and beckons you inside. The open floor plan features a living room with warming gas fireplace, dining room with built-ins and updated maple kitchen with gas range, tile backsplash and slider leading to the maintenance free Trex deck. We love the family room adjacent to the kitchen, featuring sunny southern exposure, vaulted ceiling, skylights and a wall of bookcases. 1st floor laundry with 3/4 bath. Upstairs are 3 well-sized bedrooms and a full updated bath. The interior is freshly painted in stylish colors and the upstairs carpet is brand new! Fully fenced-in yard with shed and play area. This home is ideally located just minutes from vibrant downtown Maynard with shops, restaurants and an active art scene.
