About this home

Welcome to 79 Baxter Street, where classic New England character meets the way you actually want to live. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is flooded with natural light, from the oversized family room and bright eat-in kitchen to the sun-filled three-season porch that feels like an extension of the living space. Grab your morning coffee on the wraparound farmer’s porch, host friends on the rear patio, or let pets and kids enjoy the perfectly sized backyard. The renovated bathrooms bring a boutique hotel vibe, highlighted by a spa-worthy primary suite with a clawfoot soaking tub, rainfall shower, and pebble stone floor. Just minutes from Conant Park, the commuter rail, and the trails of the Middlesex Fells, you’ll have easy access to hiking, mountain biking, dog walks, and Boston commuting—all while coming home to a space that feels bright, stylish, and designed for everyday life.
