Description

Sure to be the HOTTEST listing in town! Immaculate ranch perched behind an expansive horseshoe driveway & on a gorgeous lot abutting the beauty of the Ipswich River & seemingly endless woodlands. Hang on the NEW deck, or enjoy relaxing by the AWESOME firepit on the stone patio. W/summer coming, it's the PERFECT time to bask in all that the outdoors here has to offer. An oversized TWO CAR GARAGE w/an attached carport will serve you well...whether it's for cars, toys, garden tools...you name it! Inside, you'll be amazed w/all of the space...as the outside keeps a very good secret of what you'll find. A comfortable LR opens to a LARGE & impressive kitchen w/rich finishes...hardwood, tiled back splash, stainless appliances, wood cabinetry, & even a wet bar...ideal for entertaining. The dining area has sliders out to the deck...oh so nice! Not enough? The full walk-out LL is HUGE & beautifully finished, including a FANTASTIC laundry rm & 3/4 bath. W/all this PLUS CENTRAL AIR, do NOT delay!!

    "Close to the town center and major highways, yet it still quiet and in the middle of nature. I am close to wonderful restaurants and excellent shopping centers. Not too far from ski resorts for winter fun and not far from the beach and lakes for summer fun."
