UpS Member Home for Sale

After 19 years on our lovely property located in Acton, MA, we are moving on.

The House: 9-room colonial with 3 finished basement rooms, built in 1968. 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The kitchen is finished with black granite countertops, including some of the walls. The living room/dining room have been used as a yoga studio, meditation center, herbal classroom, and energy healing center for 5 years, so has a very high vibration. The master bedroom bath is “open Caribbean style” finished in terracotta tiles. The main bathroom has a whirlpool tub and is finished in white Italian tiles. There are hardwood floors throughout, except in the kitchen and baths, which are tiled. There is also a 2-car attached garage and 3-season breezeway which leads to an enormous deck (30x16+), which was just finished in composite decking last year. There is a fireplace in the living room, and a wood-burning stove in the basement.

The Property: There are over 100 medicinal herbs/plants on the 1.94 acres. These include goldenseal, pipsissewa, lady slippers, bloodroot (lots), spikenard, partridge berry, Indian Pipe, Joe Pye Weed, Angelica, Blue Vervain, Agrimony, lungwort, sweet fern, wild grape, and much more! White pines and oaks gently guard the perimeters. The property includes mature perennial and herbal gardens, a small meadow and untouched woods. Behind the land is conservation property, which is both wetlands and beautiful woods with walking trails. Across the street is also conservation land with a few vernal pools. Less than a half-mile from the front door is conservation land where I’ve been leading Herbal Walks for the past couple of years; you will walk through swamp, woods, and open meadow. Deer, fox, coyotes, turkeys and hawks are common visitors to our yard.

The home is being offered at $575,000. As an aside, Money Magazine just named Acton #16 of the top-best places to live in the U.S. The school system is one of the best in the country and why we originally moved here. Acton has a diverse population and there is much to do both in the community and in surround towns (Concord, Lexington). Our home feels like living in the country yet is less than 2 miles to stores and is 3 miles from the commuter rail leading into Boston or out to Worcester, MA.

There are pictures available for serious inquiries only.
