About this House

Comfortable home for rent in a fantastic location, formerly occupied by the landlord. Two-story village colonial surrounded by stately sugar maples with new laminate floors in the living room, fenced-in backyard with porch, loads of storage space in the basement, in-unit washer and dryer, off-street parking, and a bright, spacious kitchen.

Ayer is a great community to live in and this location is right in the heart of it all! The owner/landlord lived on-site for two years prior to renting and is really going to miss living here but hopes a new family will love it just as much. Small front and backyards are great for enthusiastic "green thumbs" but generally low-maintenance and there is a compost bin tucked away in the backyard for the eco-conscious.

Less than 5-minute walking distance to:
* Ayer Commuter Rail station (to North Station in Boston)
* Nashua River Rail Trail
* Lots of great restaurants (American, Chinese, sushi/Japanese, Italian, and several great bars once that's a thing again...)
* Post Office
* Town Hall
* Pharmacy
* Main Street Bank
* Dry Cleaner
* Coffee shop
* Liquor store
* Convenience store
* Public services (police and DPW within blocks and the fire station is literally across the street)
* Moore's Hardware & Lumber is two doors down
* Next door to a nail salon and a pizza place/bakery

Less than a five-minute drive to:
* Fort Devens
* Ayer-Shirley Regional High School and Page Hilltop School
* Public park and playground
* Nashoba Valley Hospital/Medical Center
* Nashoba Valley Fitness Center
* Shop 'N' Save Grocery Store
* Lots more restaurants
* All kinds of services, including veterinary, chiropractic, physical therapy, transfer station/dump/recycling center, hiking trails, and much more.

Tenant is responsible for utilities, including gas (forced air heat and stove/oven), electric, water/sewer, trash/recycling, lawn mowing, and snow removal. Up to two cats okay; no dogs, except for service animals. No smoking. Washer/dryer included (in basement). Flat-screen 55" TV in living room included. Some furnishing available (negotiable). First, last, and security due upon signing. Owner plans to continue to improve the property over time.
