About this home
New property management took over August 1, 2026. Deleaded 2001, with a Letter of Full Compliance on file. A 1,730+ sq ft end unit with high ceilings, gorgeous oak hardwood floors, three updated baths, and the kind of closet space people give up when they leave a single family. Central air and complete basement insulation added in 2025, with an electric heat pump on Littleton Electric's low, low municipal rates. Huge double-paned tilt-in windows. Two garage spaces! A patio and grilling area that's yours — and no mowing, shoveling, or ladder work to get it. Students attend Harvard Public Schools. Minutes to Route 2 and I-495, the commuter rail, and downtown Ayer. Trails, Mirror Lake for swimming, and a Devens commercial district that keeps growing. It lives like a single family. It just doesn't cost like one. Opportunity awaits while the repairs are adding value.
