This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home with over 2,000 sq ft of living space has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully expanded for comfortable living in a quiet, friendly Northborough neighborhood. Hardwood floors extend throughout the entire main level, with picture windows and a skylight flooding the living areas with abundant natural light. The fireplaced living room offers a warm welcome, while the tastefully renovated kitchen anchors the home. The grand kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, farmer's sink, eat-in island, large dining area, and a walk-in pantry for added storage. The kitchen opens to the expansive step-down family room, which provides generous space for gathering, playing, and everyday living - a bonus rarely seen in similarly-styled homes. Three bedrooms with spacious closets and an updated full bath complete the first floor, adding to the home's move-in-ready appeal. The finished lower level offers incredible bonus space, with a potential fourth bedroom with walk-in closet, recreation room, home office, and/or gym, plus a second full bath. The half-acre lot sets this property apart, offering a paver patio and usable flat backyard and ample space for gardening, entertaining, or outdoor recreation. The expanded driveway accommodates several vehicles, and the 1-car attached garage with mudroom is an added bonus. Recent updates include a top-of-the-line Buderus burner (2022), water heater (2022), A/C unit (2018), and oil tank (2018), ensuring major systems are already addressed. The home's location is highly convenient, situated just .5 mile from Ellsworth McAfee Park - with pickleball courts, ball fields, track, and more - and 1.2 miles from Assabet Park & Splash Pad, plus just minutes to major commuting routes and Northborough's highly regarded schools. Inviting, updated, and full of possibility - this home won't last!
