Sunny, well-maintained, and full of Concord charm, this trim country cottage is a delightful blend of historic detail and contemporary updates, part of a friendly neighborhood traditionally known as Riverside Park. On the first floor is a bay-fronted living room with fireplace and a pine-floored home office with built-in bookshelves and French doors. The kitchen has handsome oak cabinetry and floors, wall ovens, a glass electric cooktop, and granite counters; it opens to a large light-filled dining/family room with access to a flagstone terrace that's perfect for morning coffee. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths; the primary suite is a dramatic vaulted space overlooking the back yard. The lot itself is deep and level, with mature plantings and a handy two-bay wooden storage shed. Easy access to downtown Concord, walking trails, conservation land, the Assabet River, historic sites, and Route 2 make 855 Barretts Mill Road the perfect Concord home.
