West Side / Forest Grove: Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in Worcester's desirable West Side, this spacious Colonial offers about 2,500 square feet of classic character just minutes from Indian Lake. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, hardwood floors, natural woodwork, and large windows throughout, the home feels warm, bright, and welcoming. The front-to-back living room with a gas fireplace is the heart of the home, with a beamed ceiling, built-in cabinets, and hardwood floors. A tile-floored sunroom and the eat-in kitchen each open through sliders to the rear deck, which looks out over the fenced yard. Indoors and out, there is plenty of room to cook, gather, and relax. Upstairs, the second floor has three bedrooms with hardwood floors, a laundry room, and a full bath with tile floor and tub/shower surround. The third floor adds a large fourth bedroom with a sitting area, full bath, cathedral ceilings, and skylights, a flexible space for a guest suite, home office, or studio. Practical features include an oversized garage with bonus storage, a durable slate roof, and low-maintenance vinyl siding. The setting is a big part of the appeal. Dead-end streets mean quiet and little through traffic. Indian Lake is close by, with public beaches, a boat ramp and fishing dock at Morgan Landing, and a lake open to swimming, boating, and fishing. You are also near area parks, shopping, restaurants, services, medical offices, and Worcester's colleges and universities. Commuting is easy, with quick access to I-290, I-190, and I-495.
