Concord Home of the Week: 23 N. Branch Road

This richly-traditional home on North Branch Road is one of the most inviting and economical properties on the Concord real estate market. Three of its nine rooms present the supplemental heat and ambiance of a wood stove, and many windows provide breathtaking views of the nearly one-acre landscape overlooking the Assabet River.

It is also one of the best-valued houses in town, firstly at its reasonable pricepoint and secondly with its recent energy-saver renovations. The new residents of this great home will benefit from the addition of a new roof, solar panels and exterior painting.

This 56-year-old home makes a striking curbside introduction with its classic architectural lines including its attached two-car garage and enclosed breezeway. Inside, the rooms are as cozy and welcoming as one would expect, beginning with its spacious 23 x 11-square-foot front-to-back living room with a wood-burning stove. The 15 x 9-square-foot family room also offers the warmth of a wood-burning stove and provides seamless access and river and wooded views through a sliding door. The neighboring 19 x 11-square-foot kitchen offers upgraded ingredients with granite surfaces, tiled flooring and contrasting ebony appliances and for more formal dining, there is an intimate 10 x 10-square-foot dining area.

The second level hosts a large 23 x 11-square-foot master bedroom with a wood-burning stove, half bath and Jacuzzi tub overlooking the scenic grounds and two additional bedrooms at 16 x 12 and 12 x 10-square-feet. There is also another half bath on this floor and a full common bath on the first level.

This home boasts many interior features within its 1,500 square feet of living space and stretches its dimensions on an impressive nearly one acre lot encouraging year-round comfort, activities and scenery for the entire family. It also boasts incredibly valuable energy resources resulting in one of the most affordable realty choices in town. This is a great opportunity for existing Concord residents looking to downsize their accommodations and/or expenses or new homebuyers looking to enter the Concord real estate market.
