About this home
Nestled near the heart of downtown Northfield, this charming brick ranch offers timeless appeal. Spanning nearly a quarter acre, the home is set back from the road, embraced by a lovely wooded front yard that offers both privacy and serenity. As you step inside, you're greeted by a welcoming living room with its fireplace, flowing seamlessly into an adjacent dining room. Though this space is carpeted, hardwood flooring is beneath. The kitchen is a bright and cheerful space, with updated appliances, an inviting eating area and a skylight that attracts bountiful natural light. This space leads to a generously sized family room complete with its own fireplace. Convenient side access, along with entrances to the attached garage and the expansive basement, make this space functional and comfortable. Down the hall from the living area, are three spacious bedrooms with ample closet space, paired with both a full bath and an additional half bath for guests. The basement offers a large recreation space, a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub and separate shower, a dedicated laundry room, utility space, and a bar perfect for entertaining. Storage abounds, and the well-maintained mechanicals ensure peace of mind. The backyard offers an expansive and private space for relaxation, entertaining and gardening. The home's two-car attached garage isn't just for parking-it comes with a large work area and a charming greenhouse space overlooking the main entryway. The location is a perfect blend of quiet retreat and vibrant convenience, just steps from shopping, dining, transportation, parks, and schools.
