Major recent improvements, besides the unused, first floor half bath, include brand-new central AC and a newly sodded yard. Current owners have also invested considerably into improvements from the kitchen (countertops/appliances/backsplash/flooring), to the main bathroom remodel on the 2nd floor, and even a rebuilding of the lower two staircases to increase functionality. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard, patio, storage shed and rare off-street parking for four vehicles. The full basement provides additional laundry and storage space. Convenient to Winchester Center, local shops and dining, the commuter rail, the Middlesex Fells and major routes connecting Boston, Cambridge, Burlington and the surrounding metro area. Previously prepared conceptual expansion plans are available for buyers interested in exploring future possibilities.
