Walk the lake before breakfast, take the train to Boston or dine in intimate restaurants. These are all the amenities you will enjoy living here. Each side has it's own separate entrance, so it is like living in a single family. Excellent property for two family members or 2 friends. Fenced in yard, 2 car garage and close to major highways. Appliances left as gifts. Great alternative to a condo. The Open House for Sunday Sept 27, has been canceled because we have an accepted offer.
