Architectural details continue throughout, including dramatic ceiling heights in all four bedrooms and thoughtfully selected finishes that reinforce the home’s custom character.The kitchen and dining areas open directly to a deck and bluestone patio, creating a natural extension of the living space for entertaining, dining outdoors, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. A screened porch, with floor-to-ceiling screens and a flagstone floor, offers an immersive connection to the surrounding landscape.The spacious primary suite includes a beautifully appointed bath with dual vanities and a walk-in tiled shower, as well as a generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are all well proportioned, and the renovated half bath features nickel-gap detailing, tile flooring, and a new vanity.The lower level provides a spacious office with a second wood-burning fireplace along with substantial storage. Beneath the addition, completed in 2000, additional unfinished space offers compelling possibilities for a workshop, studio, or potential ADU.With its architectural character, privacy, abundant natural light, and seamless relationship with the outdoors, this is an exceptional offering in one of Acton’s most desirable settings—close to conservation trails, the bike path, top-rated schools, and everyday conveniences.
