Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside, this 1950s ranch is perfect for young families interested in the excellent Hamilton-Wenham school system or empty nesters looking for a more comfortable living space. The original three-bedroom, one-bath house has been expanded and renovated over the years, the biggest change being a 14x28 foot two-story addition on back with second bathroom. Other improvements include a two-tier deck offering woodland views, a circular driveway for extra parking, Andersen windows and doors throughout, and the finishing of the lower level of the addition into an office or possible 4th BR. Located on Route 97, recreation and solitude are right outside your door: the privacy of a 2-acre backyard where no houses can be built (conservation land) plus a town park (tennis, basketball) and 165 Acre Cedar Pond Sanctuary right across the street.
