A gracious foyer welcomes you with a dramatic three-story turned staircase, soaring ceilings, and open concept main living spaces perpetually bathed in sunlight. The formal living room with oversize widows is open to the dining room with fireplace and southern-facing french doors overlooking the back yard. Refinished original wood floors and fabulous millwork throughout! Designed for today's lifestyle, the home features a light-filled chef's kitchen with a center island, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, SS Fisher Paykel appliances including a double dishwasher, hooded stove, and pot filler. A new first-floor powder room and coat closet complete the main floor. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite with private balcony overlooking the rear grounds, offers a spa-inspired bath with a wet room, soaking tub, marble floors, double vanity, and custom closet. Two additional guest rooms with built-ins, a glass-tiled full bathroom with quartz countertops and custom vanity, a laundry room, and linen closet round out the space.

A fresh, beautifully appointed new full bath serves both bedrooms. New systems including heat pumps, radiant heat in all second and third floor bathrooms and primary closet, an 80 gallon hot water heater, and 400 amp electrical, are just a few of the upgrades.

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.
