Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a spa-style bath, walk-in closet, and private bonus room, plus three bedrooms and two full baths. The walk-out lower level adds a rec room, fifth bedroom, and full bath. Updates include central air, newer water heater, and whole-house water filtration. Composite deck overlooking a level yard with wooded views. Minutes to Route 9, golf, and Mass Pike access.
