Welcome to this sun-filled Colonial, beautifully sited on a peaceful cul-de-sac in sought-after South Acton, offering exceptional convenience to Concord, West Concord Village, Route 2, the South Acton MBTA commuter rail, shopping, dining, conservation trails, and Acton’s award-winning schools. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, this classic center-entrance Colonial combines substantial improvements with a wonderfully flexible floor plan designed for everyday living, entertaining, and today’s work-from-home lifestyle. The sunny formal living room opens to a spectacular screened porch with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, creating an inviting place to relax, dine, or entertain while overlooking two firepit areas and the serene wooded backyard. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, abundant cabinetry, and an open connection to the sun-filled dining area highlighted by an oversized picture window. The adjoining family room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling, while a spacious home office with its own vaulted ceiling and exceptional natural light opens directly to the composite deck, providing an effortless connection to the outdoors. A formal dining room and convenient powder room with side-by-side front-loading laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, hardwood flooring extends throughout, including a generously sized primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath with dual sinks, along with additional well-proportioned bedrooms. The finished walkout lower level provides exceptional versatility with its own private entrance, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, full bath, and additional living space, creating exciting possibilities for extended family, guests, an accessory apartment, or additional work-from-home space. Direct access leads to the two-car garage with a high-efficiency Buderus boiler, HTP water heating system, and two workshop/storage areas. Significant improvements to the home include a 30-year architectural asphalt shingle roof, durable Hardie Plank siding, triple-pane replacement windows, and composite decking—valuable investments that enhance efficiency, durability, and ease of ownership. With multiple fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, flexible living spaces, extensive updates, and wonderful indoor/outdoor connections, this distinctive South Acton home offers the privacy of a cul-de-sac.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025).

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
