About this home

This updated three bedroom, one and a half bathroom townhouse is the best value in town! The large private deck with motorized awning, tons of outdoor space, and NO CONDO FEE make it feel like a single family home. The first floor consists of a spacious living room with recessed lights, dining room, updated half bath, and a quality kitchen with island, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and under cabinet lighting. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and the full bathroom. There are hardwood floors throughout, vinyl siding, gas heating, and town water. The semi finished walkout basement with laundry and shared yard shed provide plenty of space for storage. Major updates include a 2024 water heater and additional insulation, 2022 plumbing upgrade and driveway sealcoating, 2021 front steps, 2017 septic system, and 2016 water filtration system. Conveniently located near Great Hill conservation land, Route 2, west Concord center, and the MBTA train to Boston.
