Do you value privacy? Have you been looking for the "right sized" home? This may just be the private oasis you have been holding out for! With just over 2,000 sf of finished space and almost 5.5 acres of land, this charming cape style home offers tremendous opportunity for those who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle. There are woods and trails to explore, as well as your very own inground pool for cooling off in during the summer months. There is convenient access to the Princeton Land Trust Red Fox Farm hiking loop, as well as the nearby Wachusett Reservoir Watershed. Enter at the side of the home into the large mudroom, with doors leading to both the garage and kitchen. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a peninsula, fostering an open-plan concept that seamlessly integrates with the living & dining room areas, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The wood burning stone fireplace in the living room provides cozy vibes in the winter. There is even a much coveted first floor bedroom and a half bath on this level. Head upstairs and enjoy surveilling your land from the primary bedroom balcony. There's one more good sized bedroom on this level, plus a (sky) light filled full bathroom. This cape offers plenty of storage in closets, eaves, and the attic, plus a finished family room in the basement! Stay comfortable year round with the 4 mini splits throughout for heat and AC, in addition to the boiler feeding hot water baseboards, which has been serviced and maintained annually. Outdoors, you will find a shed with attached kennel, which could make for a wonderful bear proof chicken coop, in addition to a sandy area perfect for a fire pit and toasting s'mores. There is so much privacy, yet still within short walking distance to the Post Office Plaza, Hunt & Gather, Monti Farms, and more! This property warrants a personal viewing to fully appreciate its appeal and potential. Please see owner updates list and disclosures, attached. Professional photographs coming soon.
