Imagine a neighborhood where people stop to chat, block parties are a thing, & one of the best parks in MA is steps away! Now envision cultivating love, joy, & loads of perennials here for 40+ years, & you’ll see why this home has always felt so special. Beautifully maintained over the years, pride of ownership shines through along w/essential updates including roof, windows, & heating system. Formal or not, choose between your front-to-back fireplaced living room to your left & dining room to your right, anchored by a cozy, fireplaced rear den – always a family favorite as the sliding glass door opens to a lovely deck for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Surrounded by windows, the skylit kitchen has always been THE place to share laughs & meals, while a handy bath & mudroom round out the main level. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms & a full bath await while the LL features a bonus room! With nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of lush green yard set between 3 cul-de-sacs, this Brackett School beauty is a dream!
