About this home

Incredible value in Acton! Beautiful cape-style home with the best of both worlds: extremely private, yet only minutes from the South Acton commuter rail. Seven sun drenched rooms, a bright mud room, an excellent bonus room on the second floor/attic, and open sightlines between kitchen and family room are just some of the charming features this property has to offer. In addition, this home has hardwood floors throughout much of it and an inviting fireplace with built-ins in the living room. You are an easy walk to West Acton Village. Private back yard with two sheds with loads of storage space! Come on in and adapt its beautiful spaces to fit your taste and needs!
