** Multiple offers received: Offer deadline Tuesday, Sept 15 by 6:00PM ** There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over Damon Road in the evening, a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street where kids still ride their bikes to the playground after dinner. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial has helped write that story. Walk in and you can simply feel the history... The recently refinished hardwood floors have been here through love, laughter and tears, while the classic center-entrance layout welcomes visitors and family alike. Two fireplaces fitted with Vermont Castings wood stoves will make your New England winter nights feel like an event instead of a chore. The sunroom addition is wrapped with windows and a door to the back yard and patio. This is where you'll gravitate to enjoy your coffee every morning without meaning to. We won't pretend the kitchen and baths haven't seen a few decades, and their original character is perfect for someone who values the retro mid-century flavor. But the real story here is harder to see at a glance: a 50 year steel roof installed in 2015 with a transferable warranty, updated 200 amp electrical service pre wired for a generator, and an oil fired Buderus boiler that keeps this house warm through every winter. The oversized 2-car attached garage and unfinished basement both provide ample storage and workshop space. The big, level, tree lined backyard is your spot for gardening, entertaining, or just playing outside. You can't ask for a better spot, just 400 feet from Davis Hill Elementary, and served by Mountview Middle, and Wachusett Regional, while just 3/4 mile from Gale Free Library and Holden Center. This is a house with great bones and a lot of heart. But the story doesn't end here - as this is YOUR opportunity to come help write the next chapter.
