Welcoming foyer, skylights, lower level, and ample bedroom sizes too. Open-beamed living room with beautiful natural light is just one great asset of this well-kept multi-level gem not far from UMass, Atkins and beautiful trails of the notch. Very pretty kitchen with upgraded granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a superb center island with breakfast bar. Dining area opens to sliders to an inviting heated rear sunroom not seen from the road. Bonus room would make a great office or playroom. Exterior rock wall has mature plantings. Ease of maintenance, both inside and out, the home features numerous recent interior updates, including fresh paint in almost every space. Bathrooms in good condition with good updates. Peaceful sunroom--a light-drenched retreat perfect for morning coffee or make it a 4-season den. Ample yard to add a patio or outdoor entertaining area. 2019 roof, furnace & central air (all APO). A well-balanced blend of architectural character and practical layout, this home is move-in ready.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 850 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,700 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 24,550 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
