It’s hard to beat the perks of a nicely updated Split-Level, and 186 High Street makes a good case for the style. The main level keeps everyday life within reach, with the living room and fireplace, dining area, and modern kitchen flowing together, while three bedrooms and a recently renovated bath sit just down the hall. Refinished hardwood floors and thoughtful updates bring character to the space. Downstairs, a versatile family room offers privacy and flexibility without feeling disconnected. A second full bath, laundry, storage, and direct access to the heated garage make good use of the lower level. Add a bright screened-in porch, nearly an acre of fenced-in yard with a patio, hot tub and built-in firepit, and you’re beginning to envision your downtime here. The woods out back bring a changing view with the seasons, while the perennials have a way of surprising you with something new throughout the year. Commuting days are easier with nearby highway access, and weekend rides for coffee in Chelmsford Center get a welcome shortcut via the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, less than five minutes down the street. Owned Tesla solar panels with Powerwall backup and lower energy bills, central air, and well-kept systems bring the practical side together. With much of the important work already done, you can get straight to the good part of living here.
