About this home
There is something special about a home that has grown thoughtfully over time, keeping its character while welcoming the comforts of today. This lovely Groton home brings together distinctive original details, beautiful updates and modern farmhouse style, close to downtown with green space to enjoy. At its heart is a spacious eat-in kitchen with gas cooking, a breakfast bar, an oversized center island and a built-in beverage station with custom cabinetry. Open to the family room with a pellet stove and wide pine flooring, it offers an inviting setting to gather, with access to a screened porch for quiet mornings and relaxed evenings. An adjoining space is ideal for formal dining or a home office. A sun-filled living room with French doors and a half bath off the breezeway entrance complete the main level, with wood and tile flooring throughout. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry room and a bonus nook. The generous primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet and spacious private bath with a step-in shower and soaking tub. The second bath offers a period-style soaking tub and separate step-in shower. An extensive renovation and substantial addition preserved the home's character while creating room for everyday living. A two-car garage, shed and beautiful grounds complete a home that feels warm, welcoming and distinctly Groton.
