About this home
This inviting raised ranch is set within one of Acton's well established neighborhoods known for its quiet streets and appealing residential setting. Cherished and cared for by the same owners for 26 years, the home offers a wonderful blend of timeless character, comfortable living spaces, and thoughtful enhancements designed to complement today’s lifestyle. Set on a level, nearly half-acre lot, the property has a great sense of space, privacy, and connection to the natural surroundings. Inside, generous windows provide abundant natural light throughout, helping to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The traditional yet versatile floor plan offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, and spacious family room with fireplace, ideally suited for both everyday living and entertaining. The generously sized primary bedroom is a wonderful retreat, featuring walk-in closets and a private en-suite bath. This desirable addition, completed in 2012, enhances the feeling of a custom retreat with its vaulted ceiling and beautiful wood floors. Central air conditioning and solar panels add further value and convenience. Perhaps one of the home’s most well loved features is the generously sized screened-in porch overlooking the backyard, where a stone wall and mature trees create a beautiful backdrop. Whether enjoying a quiet morning, hosting friends, or simply unwinding at the end of the day, this inviting outdoor living space offers a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape. Additional features include a partially finished basement offering flexible bonus space, an attached two-car garage with storage, and a large driveway with ample parking. The location is equally appealing, with convenient access to Route 2, nearby schools, the library, playground, and arboretum. Acton is well regarded for its community atmosphere, recreational opportunities, and the highly regarded Acton-Boxborough Regional School District. After 26 years of treasured ownership, 17 Simon Willard Road presents a wonderful opportunity to become part of all that Acton has to offer. Come make this welcoming property your new home.
