Stow's excellent school system and the commuter rail are both minutes from this spacious Garrison Colonial. It's a half hour car ride to Worcester or Framingham and yet a world apart for what you get for your money. Recent updates include new hardwoods in the spectacular great room, a gorgeous renovated kitchen with granite counters, new siding, two updated bathrooms, new carpeting in all 4 bedrooms and the common hall on the second floor, a resurfaced driveway, and a brand new well pump. It has a large level rear yard with the septic in front which made pool parties and lawn games possible. You'll think of it as a country setting with a modern flair. Miles of walking trails and cross country skiing are at your door (Red Acre Woods behind and Sargent Conservation in front). Get out of the city and come see your new home.
