It’s a three-room suite fit for the next mortgagee of this Colonial in Boxborough, a town of roughly 5,500 where classic New England stone walls separate single-family homes.

The primary suite of our Home of the Week occupies the entire second level of the wing. The 380-square-foot bedroom area offers vaulted ceilings, oak flooring, and five double-hung windows. Grab a book and cozy up by the sitting area fireplace, a gas configuration a faux stone slab frames.

Need a touch up? The bedroom also has a freestanding vanity with a sink and a mirror. For a lingering and luxurious grooming session, head to the en-suite bath, which features ceramic tile flooring with radiant heat, a pair of porcelain pedestal sinks, mirrored medicine cabinets, a soaking tub nestled between two double-hung windows, and a standalone shower.

The bathroom comes with a white porcelain pedestal sink, tile flooring, and a tub/shower combination behind a curtain. The two other bedrooms (both are 126 square feet) share a hallway bath with a tub/shower combination behind a sliding door, a porcelain-topped floating vanity, and ceramic tile flooring.

The Boxborough home welcomes guests through a pair of bright red doors: one in the middle of this center hall Colonial, the other off the farmer’s porch. The door off the farmer’s porch opens into a 342-square-foot-family room. Windows flank a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by floor-to-ceiling tile reminiscent of a sandy beach. The space also features recessed lighting; a hall tree with a bench, hooks, and cubbies; and white cabinetry with glass doors and shelves. A door reveals the two-car garage.

The oak flooring in the family room flows into the kitchen. The 286-square-foot room has been updated in a way that enhances its traditional role as the heart of a home. The island and a peninsula offer seating for at least seven. The sink sits under a windowed bump-out ready for plants. The Shaker-style cabinets are white, the appliances are stainless steel, and the backsplash is an earthy subway tile.

A slider connects to a 418-square-foot deck with views of the koi pond and the fenced-in yard of this 0.93-acre property.
