A wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best of Acton living! Set in a peaceful, welcoming and highly walkable neighborhood, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on nearly half an acre with professional landscaping. Enjoy convenient access to Acton-Boxborough schools—including elementary schools, the junior high and high school—as well as Acton Memorial Library, Acton Arboretum, playgrounds and town center. Upon entering, a welcoming living room with a classic brick gas fireplace creates an inviting first impression. The vaulted-ceiling kitchen features marble countertops, stainless-steel appliances and gas cooking with exterior venting. It opens into an impressive 32' x 27' open-concept dining and family room with vaulted ceilings, a skylight, walls of windows and a second brick wood burning fireplace. Designed for everyday living and memorable gatherings, this bright, expansive space connects seamlessly to the screened porch and deck overlooking the spacious, level backyard and above-ground pool—an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen, the main level offers three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bathroom with a double-sink vanity. The walkout lower level includes a second full bathroom and an additional living room offering flexible use as a home office, media room, guest space or private retreat. A separate bonus area of 635 SF provides valuable storage and exciting potential for a home gym, workshop, hobby area or future needs. Additional highlights include hardwood flooring, an EV charger, a two-car garage with two new garage doors (Oct 2025 and Sep 2026) and a septic system installed in May 2021. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, the South Acton commuter rail station and Routes 2, 2A and 111, this special home offers space, versatility and access to everything Acton has to offer.
