About This Home
Sidewalk to the library AND the Bruce Freeman bike trail! This classic 1960s Cape offers wonderful bones, real character, and a location that's hard to beat. The fireplaced living room and country kitchen give the home genuine everyday charm, and the family room opens to a screened porch overlooking a beautifully wooded backyard — a perfect spot for morning coffee or quiet evenings. A flexible floor plan includes a first-floor bedroom and full bath, plus two generous bedrooms and a second full bath upstairs. A wonderful home to grow into as you update at your own pace. With an oversized two-car garage and great outdoor entertaining space, this is a fantastic opportunity to put your own stamp on a home in one of Acton's most convenient locations — close to schools, shopping, restaurants, bike train, Wheeler Pool, and commuter routes.
