Hear yourself think—you can on this quiet street tucked along the edge of Spencer. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath brick home offers a peaceful setting with a backyard that feels more like country living than city life. Just off the dining area, a wood deck steps down to a spacious paver patio overlooking open fields where you can see for miles. There’s plenty of room for a garden, space for kids or pets to play, and all the privacy you’ve been looking for. Inside, the kitchen includes a center island, pull-out spice rack and numerous pull out drawers along with a pantry area, and ample storage. The laundry room is its own dedicated space, and the primary bedroom features dual closets. The basement can be accessed from both inside the home and through a smart garage entry—perfect for bringing in outdoor gear or avoiding muddy boots through the main floor. A 2.5-car garage and additional storage shed complete the package. You’ll want to see this setting for yourself.
