Set back from the road on a wooded 1+ acre lot, this picturesque Merrimack Colonial offers the rare combination of privacy, convenience, and space to spread out. A covered farmer's porch with classic rocking chairs sets the tone as you arrive, while mature landscaping and a fenced backyard create a peaceful setting free from the feel of a traditional neighborhood. One of the true standout features is the massive 30' x 48' attached garage. With two front bays, an additional smaller rear bay opening toward the backyard, built-in shelving, ample storage, and room for vehicles, tools, hobbies, or workshop space, this is a setup that is hard to find. Enter through the breezeway where double glass doors lead into the main living area. The updated kitchen features tile flooring, recessed lighting, granite counters and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a center island with seating. The tile continues into the formal dining room and foyer, creating an easy flow for everyday living. The warm living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and offers access to the back deck. A half bath with laundry completes the main level. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with wood flooring and a full bath. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, two walk-in closets, and an en-suite bath. The finished lower level offers a generous recreation room plus a separate bonus room ideal for an office, music room, workout space, guest space, or whatever best fits your needs. Outside, the large back deck includes a hot tub and built-in bench seating overlooking the wooded backyard. Additional highlights include central AC, forced hot air heat, public water, and a home that has been well maintained, loved, and cherished. Conveniently located off Exit 11 of the Everett Turnpike with easy access to shopping, dining, schools, the MA border, I-293, I-93, and everything people love about Merrimack. A rare opportunity worth seeing in person. Schedule your showing today!
