About this home

Pride of ownership abounds in this beloved Stow home, where thoughtful updates complement classic architectural details, creating uncommon warmth & character. Handsome hardwood floors, rich original woodwork, crown molding, enchanting built-ins, restored fixtures & glass doorknobs harken back to a time when quality craftsmanship reigned. A spacious mudroom opens to a sun-drenched kitchen that beautifully balances charm & function with plentiful Shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, beadboard wainscoting, upscale 2026 appliances including a 5-burner gas range, toasty radiant-heated porcelain tile floors & an inviting breakfast bar beckoning you to linger. Host holidays & create memories in the richly appointed dining room, generously sized for gathering with a striking corner cabinet as its focal point. Glass French doors open to an airy living room warmed by a cozy wood stove, while an exquisite French pocket door reveals a versatile office/guest room offering added privacy. Upstairs, three sunny bedrooms & an updated full bath await. Supremely sited on a gentle knoll, the beautifully kept grounds may just steal your heart. A sprawling, level lawn is framed by stone walls, flowering trees, shrubs & perennial gardens bursting with color throughout the seasons. Sip coffee on the new composite deck, cultivate an enviable farm-to-table garden, gather for lawn games or simply savor quiet evenings and stargazing in your own backyard sanctuary. A 4-bedroom septic & generous yard offer exciting expansion and ADU potential, while the detached 2-car garage provides valuable space for parking, storage, hobbies & projects. Dog lovers will appreciate the attached kennel with direct basement access. Conveniently located near commuter routes, conservation trails, community park, golf, farm stands, orchards, Lake Boon recreation & all that Stow has to offer. More than a home—this is a legacy worth owning.
