BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED 5-bedroom Colonial set on a MAGNIFICENTLY landscaped lot in one of Acton's most convenient neighborhoods, close to shopping, restaurants, children's activities, the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, and everything the area has to offer. This special property combines extensive updates, flexible living space, a spectacular backyard, and an exceptional location. THE AMAZING KITCHEN features an oversized center island with seating, high-quality quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a convection cooktop, and plenty of storage. Open to the sun-filled family room, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home—a wonderful space for cooking and gathering, with beautiful views of the private backyard. THE BACKYARD is truly special—private, beautifully landscaped, and designed to be enjoyed, with a DECK, STONE PATIO, and built-in FIRE PIT providing wonderful spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing. A sophisticated HOME OFFICE with custom built-ins and a window seat provides a comfortable work-from-home space. Hardwood floors add warmth throughout. Upstairs, the elegant PRIMARY SUITE is complemented by a beautifully renovated EN-SUITE bath where modern design meets artistic detail, with a rich blue vanity, quartz countertop, distinctive lighting, and an oversized tiled shower. Four additional well-sized bedrooms and an equally stylish family bath feature a double vanity with CUSTOM CABINETRY, ILLUMINATED mirrors, dramatic tile work, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower with rain and handheld showerheads. Extensive improvements include a new septic system, retaining walls, patio/fire pit, and 200-amp electrical upgrade (2020); new primary and family bathrooms (2022); and a Bosch central A/C/heat pump system, Cedar Impressions siding, additional insulation, and gutters (2023). Earlier improvements include replacement windows, exterior and garage doors, Mass Save insulation, renovated kitchen, and chimney work. See attached update list for complete details. Extensive storage in the basement with a walk-in pantry. Simply move in and enjoy the space, the setting, and all that Acton has to offer.
