Listed: A waterfront home in Westford with decks and views galore
Summer weather in New England may be fleeting, but this waterfront Westford home offers endless opportunities to take advantage of the warmth — and the views.
The three-story colonial is set back from the street, allowing for unobstructed views of Nabnasset Pond from nearly every room. The 2,329-square-foot home comes with three bedrooms and just as many decks, one of which has a built-in hot tub.
When visitors first pull up to the home, they are greeted by the detached garage with space for three cars. A wooded path behind this winds down to the home itself, where you can enter through the front door or a side door off the deck. Stunning views abound throughout the home, but the living room on the first floor steals the show thanks to a wall of greenhouse-like windows that look out over the water.
The kitchen also capitalizes on those views, thanks to a pass-through above the copper farmhouse sink. The room has tile floors and granite countertops, as well as a breakfast nook off to the side with its own set of corner windows.
Around the corner, the dining room shares the same wood floors that run through the living room, and a modest chandelier hangs from the ceiling. A sizable office and a full bathroom with a tile floor, pedestal sink, and combination shower/bathtub round out the first floor.
Upstairs, the views continue in the spacious primary bedroom, which includes a comfortable sitting area with large, pond-facing windows. To the left, a white barn door opens into the walk-in closet. The floors here — and in the other two bedrooms — are wood. The second full bathroom is also on this level, with tile floors, a standalone shower, a soaking tub, and tile wainscoting.
In the living room, a floating staircase leads down to the lower level. Thanks to the home’s hillside perch, this floor is still high above the pond — offering even more opportunity to relish in the scenery. A sliding glass door leads out to one of the decks. In the colder months, residents can enjoy the landscape from inside, warming up by the wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround.
Outside, there’s a small bar set up on the landing under the deck. From here, a long set of stairs extend down to the water’s edge, where a dock stretches out into the pond.
The property, listed for $1,175,000, is located at 46 Lake Shore Drive South – try not to forget the ‘South’ in the address, as there’s a property with the same address at Lake Shore Drive North. Martha Sotiropoulos of Chinatti Realty has the listing.
Interested buyers can check out the home at an open house Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
