Striking curb appeal meets serene, pastoral beauty in this exceptional Center Hall Colonial, ideally situated on 2.33 acres across from Scorton Creek off of idyllic 6A. The property is a true retreat, featuring an in-ground pool, meandering stone walls, extensive hardscape, and lush landscaping poised to bloom with vibrant spring color. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and timeless charm. The thoughtfully designed first floor offers a graceful flow, highlighted by dual living rooms, gleaming hardwood floors, and three wood burning fireplaces that create warmth and character throughout. A versatile separate wing with its own driveway and entrance provides flexible living options--perfect for a first-floor primary suite or private workspace. The sunny, renovated kitchen overlooks the expansive backyard and pool. Adding even more flexibility, the detached two-car garage includes finished space above and a propane powered whole-house generator. An opportunity not to be missed!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,396 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 101,494 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
