NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING ABUTTING CONSERVATION LAND. Tucked away in one of Ashland's most cherished neighborhoods, this charming colonial offers the perfect blend of privacy, classic New England character and extensive updates. A major kitchen reno highlights the list of updates - wood cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances - it checks all the boxes! The roomy dining area offers great potential, perfect as-is or ready for creative minds to capitalize on the oversized space. Other first-floor features include a cozy family room with a wood fireplace, plus a convenient main-level bedroom and full bath. Upstairs the wide plank pine floors carry through a massive main bedroom with ample closet space and a comfortable guest bedroom adjacent to a full bath. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Outside is a sanctuary - a fully fenced yard overlooks conservation grounds. Enjoy unmatched convenience with the elementary school, playgrounds and nature trails close by, plus quick proximity to shopping and the commuter rail. Peace of mind upgrades include a high-efficiency Carrier furnace, A/C, and gas hot water heater (2020). The house is ready to go - are you?
