Nothing to do but move right in to this lovingly restored colonial just four blocks from the heart of downtown, and a block from Christa McAuliffe Elementary School. On the exterior, the cedar clapboard siding has all been beautifully refinished or replaced, with custom trim detail all around. Thoughtful landscaping provides colorful flowers and foliage from April through September, and there is a sweet, private back yard with a 15x15 bluestone patio for enjoying evening barbecues or a morning book and coffee. Inside, you'll find a kitchen with custom maple cabinetry by W.S. Dennison, granite countertops, and new stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas range. The main floor also features a comfortable dining room along with a front to back living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a newly-restored bay window. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a small home office wired for ethernet. There is plenty of closet space, along with an attic above for storage. Solid six-panel doors, custom trim, and many other period details combine to make this a truly lovely home. Showings begin at the open house on Saturday, October 26 (11 AM - 2 PM), and Sunday, October 27 (11 AM - 2 PM). **Agent interest: the property owner is the seller. **
