About this home
Fantastic New Price on this Beautifully Maintained and Updated Acorn Park Southern Colonial. A striking two-story porch sets the tone for the thoughtfully designed interior featuring a spacious kitchen with white cabinetry, huge 6ft 9in by 3ft quartz center island, pantry, & dining area and opens to the vaulted skylit family room with fireplace; both rooms have sliders to the expansive deck overlooking a park like yard with conservation land directly behind this lot. Large formal living and dining rooms and a sun-filled executive study with French doors and custom built-in, and powder room complete the first floor. The serene primary suite features cathedral ceilings, dual closets, and a spa-like bath, while three additional spacious bedrooms (two with walk-in closets) and an nicely updated bath complete the second floor. A finished lower level provides flexible space for recreation, fitness, or media needs. A rare offering in one of Acton’s most desirable neighborhoods.
