About this home
Enjoy peaceful WATERFRONT living in commuter friendly Ayer in this a spacious traditional 4-bedroom Garrison Colonial overlooking scenic Flannagan's Pond. Designed to capture every angle of the setting, oversized picture windows across each level showcase panoramic water views and breathtaking evening sunsets.The main level features updated Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring, leading into an inviting front-to-back family room anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite serves as a true private retreat, complete with an updated en-suite bathroom. Downstairs, 900 square feet of expansion possibility awaits in the dry-as-a-bone lower level. Featuring a full-size door, slider, and expansive full-sized windows, it offers the perfect footprint for an in-law suite, home office, gym, or recreation area. Up top, adding a staircase in bedroom four unlocks third-floor attic expansion—imagine a full dormer buildout with elevated views over the pond! Best of all, step right into your backyard to launch your canoe or kayak for a peaceful morning paddle enjoying the natural habitat or a sunset cruise on the pond. Location is everything: enjoy an abundance of nearby hiking trails, local shopping, and walkable downtown Ayer, all while being a commuter's dream with easy access to Route 2, Route 495, and the MBTA Commuter Rail.
This waterfront home is just a few minutes walk to the town beach. It has 4 bedrooms with 2.5 baths... the fist floor laundry is most convenient and the full walk out basement is ready for your use. Is it storage space ? game room ? or just a place to keep your waterfront entertainment equipment ??? you decide. The covered deck area gives a great place to relax and watch nature. Interior clean up to be completed before closing.
