About this home

Move-In-Ready Ashland Ranch, Set back 70+ feet on Nearly Half an Acre. The Big-Ticket Work Is Already Done as the sellers have completed the expensive projects for peace of mind, so you can move in and enjoy. This ranch offers 1,714 sq ft of total living space, including a finished walk-out lower level. 218 Myrtle was built near the center of a level, fenced 0.47-acre lot, maximizing the lot to its fullest. Built on the upslope to the famed Ashland Town Forest, the property offers quick access to Worcester and Boston via the Mass Pike, commuter rail, routes 9 and 135, as well as local foot trails and shopping conveniences, but offers the peace of country living. The living room features hardwood floors, a bay window, wood-burning fireplace, and included Samsung big screen TV (Seasoned firewood and a covered storage rack remain as a seller's gift to help make your cooler holiday months cozy). All this opens to a dining room with a custom built-in. The kitchen shines with Ubatuba granite counters (spring 2026), plus a new Maytag dishwasher and LG range with EZ cleaning cobalt-blue interior (both June 2026), stainless appliances and breakfast bar. Three hardwood-floored bedrooms include a primary with a California Closet system, and there is another in the coat closet. The finished lower level adds two bonus rooms, a half bath with an up-flush system, laundry with a newer Samsung washer and dryer (included), and direct access to the garage and yard. The mechanicals are where this home truly stands apart. Four one-to-one Fujitsu high-heat ductless mini-splits (2018), each with its own outdoor compressor for higher efficiency, provide quiet, efficient cooling and can serve as primary or secondary heat alongside a new oil boiler (spring 2026). You choose how to heat, season by season. Add MassSave insulation (2018), a 50-year architectural shingle roof (only in year 8), 200-amp electrical service, an electric water heater (2022), a radon mitigation system, a sump with dehumidifier drain (2024), a new Panasonic bath exhaust fan, central vacuum and automatic whole house fan with humidistat. Title 5 passed. Outside, enjoy a new loop driveway with parking for 7, an elongated garage with built-in storage, a freshly painted deck, patio, bedded garden space and award-winning peony perennials. There is auto-security lighting on all four sides that stand watch over the fenced backyard. Homes this well-kept and with these extras, don't wait around. Book a showing now.
