About this home

Village Colonial full of New England charm and possibilities, is on the market for the first time since it was built in the 1890. Set along a quiet residential street just around the corner from Ayer's town park, this home has been owned and occupied by the same Ayer family for seven generations. The open concept dining room/living room, with optional first-floor master bedroom with closet and convenient 3/4 bathroom steps away and staircase of this home have been fully and lovingly built in true craftsman's skill, outfitted with gorgeous glowing oak floors, trim, and simply stunning built-ins. The home boasts a large eat-in kitchen off a glassed-in sunporch. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, large full bathroom, and a bonus room that could serve as overflow guest accommodation or a home office. Three walk-in closets upstairs and large 2nd floor attic space offers enormous storage potential. And if that wasn't enough-an attached creative arts space or home office with private entry, 3/4 bath, kitchenette, and closet offers homeowners a host of opportunities. Outside is a cute fenced-in yard, and a large shed with a loft provides even more exterior storage. Rich in character and vintage charm, this quality home presents plenty of opportunity for you to give it your own personal stamp and make it truly your own.
