Description

Lovingly cared for by the same owner for 37 years, this 3 bed, 2 bath Victorian perched up above the road has too many updates to list. Overlooking perennial beds, you’ll enter off the spacious farmers porch into a welcoming foyer & living room, complete w/ built-in bookshelves. Separate dining area, full bath w/ laundry, & updated EIK w/ granite & butcher block counters, ss appliances, custom cabinetry, and slider to rear patio round out the 1st floor. Upstairs you'll find 3 beds & 1 full bath (tub only but shower head could be added). Extra storage in unfinished basement & direct access from driveway for inclement weather. It will be easy to spend as much time outside as inside relaxing in the hot tub, picking raspberries, or under the carport nicknamed “puzzle port”, where the current owner spends many evenings with neighbors. Located on a quiet side street, yet only .3 miles to downtown Ayer and the commuter rail, come see for yourself just how special this home is! Don’t miss out!
