Just walking by this delightful farmhouse on Maple St. it is easy to imagine leisurely summer evenings on a rocking chair on the charming farmer's porch as the sun sets. If that calming scene sounds inviting, it could easily come true as this updated property is now available for another fortunate owner.

When darkness or cooler temperatures arrive, homeowners also have an equally favorable option of an indoor haven with the lovely and comfortable accommodations with this home's walls. This is 1,730 square feet of welcoming space in this enchanting house with incredibly spacious dimensions, soothing hues and classic moldings. The 17 x 14 square foot living room invites guests into a sunny space naturally lit with a bay window and the 12 x 10 square foot dining area shares its hospitable character with warm butter walls and banks of windows for more natural sunlight. The 15 x 11 square foot kitchen is drenched in natural fibers with white, wood cabinets, butcher block surfaces and hardwood flooring and can accommodate many seating occasions with its breakfast bar and intimate dining nook. The 16 x 12 square foot family room is a cozy, casual space enhanced with sage green walls and a fireplace.

Two generously-sized bedrooms are located on the second floor with 19 x 15 square foot dimensions in the master that also includes a walk-in closet and 19 x 14 square feet in the second bedroom. There is also a convenient laundry room located on this level.

In addition to its very relaxed, secure and comfortable spaces, this relaxed, New England-styled home has received many recent structural improvements, including a newer kitchen and baths and a new hot water heater and furnace. Its location is also an appealing feature for potential homebuyers located just steps from many shops, restaurants and transportation. But with all this home has to offer, who would ever want to leave?
