Tucked into a private, wooded setting in Ashford, this 3-4 bedroom, 2 bath contemporary style raised ranch offers comfortable living space, thoughtful updates, and room to spread out. The main level centers on a bright kitchen with a vaulted ceiling and skylight, oak cabinetry, a pull-down faucet over a double sink, and a peninsula with breakfast-bar seating. It opens to the dining area, where a wide bank of windows looks out onto the trees. A few steps away, the living room has its own vaulted ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a tiled fireplace, with a wood-railed overlook that keeps the spaces connected. The bedrooms have hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and good closet space, including a primary bedroom with two double closets. Fresh paint throughout gives the home a clean, move-in-ready feel. The lower level adds flexibility with a bonus room that has direct access to the backyard, plus a second room suited for an office, den, bedroom or guest space. A full bath with a walk-in shower and a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink and cabinets round out the level. Practical features include hot water baseboard heat, a Generac standby whole house generator, and an attached/drive-in 2 car garage. Outside, a large chain-link fenced yard is ready for pets or play, surrounded by mature trees for privacy. Adjacent to Tinkerville Brook Preserve. Enjoy a quiet country setting with convenient access to I-84 Sturbridge MA, Boston and UConn
