From the outside, this Civil War-era home retains its Colonial design, but inside, the single-family offers town house-style living on all four levels, from the basement to the former attic that now houses the master suite.
In the foyer, a doorway to the right opens to a living room with recessed lighting and space for multiple couches. It’s also where you can experience the airiness of the home, the result of 9-foot ceilings. The living room leads easily to the kitchen/dining room, where the space is equally split between the two purposes. The kitchen has a bi-level dark granite island with seating, a glass-tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances, including a five-burner gas stove. The cabinets are solid wood and painted white.
The dining space has a chandelier, which helps define the right spot for a table, and several white doors. Behind one door is a pantry; behind another is a full bath. A slider opens to the deck and the rectangular fenced-in backyard. This completes the first floor.
The foyer hosts a stairwell that curves as it rises 14 steps to the second level, where there are three bedrooms and a second full bath. The bedrooms vary in size from large to perfect for a nursery. The full bath has a single vanity with a granite counter.
The uppermost floor is now an expansive master suite, large enough to make a king-size bed seem princely. The suite offers a walk-in closet and a bath with a single vanity.
The walkout basement features a family room, a half bath, utility space, and a laundry area.
The driveway on this 0.08-acre parcel is shared with a neighbor. The home is a short walk to Woburn Center and a little more than a five-minute drive to Route 128.
