It's hard to beat the perks of a nicely updated Split-Level, and 186 High Street makes a good case for the style. Updated, and highly efficient: owned Tesla solar panels and Tesla Powerwall make the utility bills much more attractive. 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. With much of the important work already done, you can get straight to the good part of living here.
