The lower level provides two rooms used as bedrooms or offices, a bath, the laundry room, two walk-in closets, and the oversized family room adorned with built-in bookshelves and cabinets.

As if this isn't enough, you have central air, solar panels, and a whole-house water filtration system. Conveniently located for commuters to Hamilton MBTA Station or Rte 128.
