http://www.KathleenBuckley.com - The town of Hopkinton located just 26 miles west of Boston along the marathon route, consistently receives accolades for its high achieving schools and attractive features as a small town. Located at the crossroads of the Massachusetts Turnpike (the major East/West highway) and I-495. Meserve Street, just off of Route 135, enjoys the unique convenience of great highway access as well as sidewalks to the center of Hopkinton. Next Generation, a popular daycare and pre-school facility, sits at the corner of Rt 135 and Meserve.
In 2009, a builder purchased the property at 11 Meserve Street, tore down the modest home that formerly existed at the back of the lot, and built this lovely hip-roof colonial home more in line with the tastes of today's home owners.
First and foremost, the home is light and bright. Between the picture window above the front door, the triple window in the kitchen dining area, and the partial glass side entry door which faces South, daylight fills the home from morning to night.
the living room which runs the entire depth of the home with the gas heatilator type fireplace at the end adjacent to the informal dining area.
The efficient U-shaped kitchen offers dovetail construction cherry kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, an undermount stainless sink, gas range, space-saver microwave, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator.
The powder room adjacent to the side entrance on the first floor houses the laundry closet.
Rounding out the 1st floor is a spacious formal dining room with lovely trey ceiling detail. Gorgeous 3" width hardwoods grace the entire 1st floor, plus the stairs and the landing upstairs.
All the baths have neutral tile flooring, and rich, thick granite. Both full baths upstairs offer linen closets, and the powder room adjacent to the side entrance on the first floor houses the laundry closet.
The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet. All three 2nd floor bedrooms are carpeted.
The full basement, currently unfinished and used for storage, has numerous daylight windows and a bulkhead to access the rear yard.
Stone paver patio in the backyard along with mature trees create opportunities to enjoy outdoor spaces that townhouses just cannot match.
