This exceptional antique home features wide pine floors, rich millwork, and nine fireplaces—two with rare beehive ovens—blended with seamless updates. The kitchen offers a vaulted ceiling, honed granite, a gas fireplace, island, and chef’s dual-fuel range. The attached carriage house has been transformed into a stunning great room with soaring ceilings and a full wet bar with island seating. All bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with timeless style. Outside, a private oasis awaits with a heated saltwater pool with waterfall, bluestone patio, deck with sunken firepit, and terraced flat lawns all fenced-in for privacy. A sizable mudroom, laundry room, storage, and detached, heated two-car garage for convenience. Perfectly positioned between Acton’s top schools and vibrant West Acton Village, this home offers the grace and character of a historic property with the comfort, style, and livability of a modern retreat.
