Meticulously maintained raised ranch, originally built for the builder himself and lovingly owned by the same family since 1990! Offering exceptional space and flexibility, the sun-filled main level features hardwood floors, a spacious living room and inviting eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinetry, center island, dining area and slider to the rear deck overlooking the lovely backyard. Three bedrooms and two updated full baths are on this level, including a primary bedroom with private bath and tiled shower. The finished lower level adds terrific living space with a warm and welcoming family room featuring decorative beams, extensive wood detailing and an impressive floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace with pellet stove. A 4th bedroom and additional bonus room provide flexible space for guests, home office, playroom, exercise or hobbies, plus direct access to the 1-car garage. **What truly sets this property apart is the detached 2-car garage built in 1998 with a beautifully finished 1-bedroom apartment above! Bright and spacious, it features hardwood floors, dramatic vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights and ceiling fans. The kitchenette offers generous cabinetry and counter space, a full-size refrigerator and built-in microwave, while a separate bedroom and updated full bath with shower complete the interior. The apartment also enjoys a private deck and two separate entrances-from the deck or through the garage. Previously rented for $1,850/month, this versatile space offers wonderful potential for extended family, guests, home office or future rental income. Owner is currently filing the required paperwork with the Town to establish the apartment as a legal ADU.** Recent improvements include a new roof on the main house in 2022 and detached garage in 2023. Town water and sewer plus West Boylston municipal electric are additional benefits. Convenient to schools, shopping, parks, Wachusett Reservoir, Mass Central Rail Trail and I-190. With three garage bays, flexible living space and income potential, this is a rare opportunity!
