Imagine coming home to a quiet, private retreat where nature is only a few minutes away on foot and downtown Boston is approximately 7 miles away. This ground-floor condo makes everyday life remarkably easy: no stairs, no elevator waits, your own deeded parking space, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a separate full-size storage area for the things you do not want taking up living space. Set beside open space, the home has a peaceful, private feel that is hard to find in condo living. Inside, the living and dining areas flow naturally to a private patio - a comfortable place to relax, enjoy a morning coffee, or unwind at the end of the day. Upgraded stainless steel appliances, engineered beech wood floors, central air, generous closets, and a primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet add to the comfort. And then there is the location. The Middlesex Fells Reservation is right across the way, with more than 100 miles of hiking and biking trails just a few minutes from the condo. Wrights Pond, the Mystic River area, and other outdoor recreation are nearby, while I-93 and multiple transit options make Boston, Tufts University, shopping, and dining easy to reach. Quiet when you want it. Convenient when you need it. Nature close by, Boston close by, and the everyday conveniences already built in.
