Discover a one-of-a-kind renovated contemporary retreat set on 4.27 private wooded acres—a setting that feels more like Vermont than suburban Northborough. Set well back from the road, this home blends cool retro-modern character with thoughtful updates while staying true to its original architecture. The sun-filled living room makes a dramatic first impression with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, hardwood floors and a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The beautifully renovated royal blue/white kitchen cabinets combine vintage-inspired style with modern function, featuring updated countertops, tile backsplash, hardwood flooring, slider to the deck and gorgeous cabinetry. The adjoining dining area offers large windows with tranquil nature views, while the inviting three-season room feels like a treehouse overlooking the peaceful woods. The spacious primary suite features double closets and an updated private bath. Three additional generous bedrooms share a renovated tiled bath. The finished lower level offers a family room with fireplace, office, half bath with laundry and flexible studio or hobby space. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new septic system, updated electrical panel and paved driveway add peace of mind. Woodland views and a distinctive retro-modern home beautifully updated for today.
