About this home
Charming colonial home blending period character with thoughtful updates, tucked away on a quiet street. Freshly painted with high ceilings on the main level, the traditional floor plan features a spacious kitchen with gas range, quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry and a slider to the 16x15 composite deck—perfect for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. The dining and living rooms retain classic details, including a built-in corner cabinet, while a stained-glass stairwell window adds a colorful touch of vintage charm. Upstairs are 3 generously sized bedrooms, each with a cedar-lined closet, and a full bath. Outside, the fenced yard offers room for pets, play and summer fun around the inground pool. A heated finished room in the basement provides flexible bonus space for crafts, a TV room, home gym or casual hangout. Hardwood flooring can be found throughout much of the home.

What do these numbers mean?
DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.
School names link to available school or district websites.
