Private, flat, and full of color. Tucked back on 2.74 open acres in West Townsend, this well cared for home gives you room to breathe, with major routes close when you need them. Pearl Hill State Park and Willard Brook State Forest are nearby for trails and open woods, while Route 119 and the Fitchburg and Lunenburg corridors keep commuting and errands easy. Mature perennial gardens bloom spring through fall, the maples light up every October, and the level, cleared yard leaves space for vegetables, a workshop, a fire pit, or a place for the dog to run. Inside, live on one level. The living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath are all on the main floor, and a mini split installed two years ago brings air conditioning to that level. Hardwood floors, solid wood doors throughout, and kitchen built-ins bring a warmth you can’t find in new construction. Upstairs 3 Bedrooms, built in cabinetry, and sunny windows make flexible rooms for guests, hobbies, or a home office.The updates are where they matter. A brand new 4 bedroom septic system is being installed. Add a 2017 boiler, 200 amp electric service with circuit breakers (new in 2008), PEX and PVC plumbing, a roof under 20 years old, and newer Harvey and Andersen windows and siding. A generator hookup with interlock, a basement sump pump, and both a dug well and an artesian well round out the systems. Private, cared for, and updated where it counts.
