Set back on a quiet side street in Stow with conservation trails at the doorstep, this 2.31-acre contemporary Colonial offers a rare blend of woodland privacy and thoughtfully updated living space. Large Andersen windows fill every room with natural light and frame year-round views of the surrounding trees, creating a true retreat-like setting just minutes from town fields, tennis and basketball courts, and the Delaney Watershed's four-season trails.Inside, a full 2025 renovation has transformed the home from top to bottom. The kitchen has been rebuilt with quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, a walk-in pantry, and a large center island, opening to a spacious family room with a brick fireplace and slider to the patio — an easy layout for entertaining. Gleaming hardwood floors, including refinished Brazilian cherry, run throughout both finished levels, and French doors connect the living room, dining room, and home office for flexible everyday living. A first-floor full bath with a shower stall adds convenience and could support a fifth bedroom for guests or an in-law arrangement.Upstairs, the main suite is a true showstopper, with cathedral ceilings, skylights, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a laundry room complete this level. A newly renovated heating system and hot water tank with pressure tank round out the major 2025 upgrades.For buyers thinking beyond the current footprint, the third floor offers roughly 1,600 square feet of open, unfinished space awaiting a vision — ideal for a future primary suite, media room, or additional bedrooms. And with 2.31 acres to work with, the lot itself presents a compelling opportunity to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), whether for extended family, a home office, rental income, or guest quarters — a rare bonus in this wooded, established neighborhood.Additional highlights include a three-car attached garage, a full basement, a covered front porch, and a private paved driveway and paved-road access despite the secluded feel. Parking for nine vehicles makes hosting effortless, and the wooded 2.31-acre lot offers a rare buffer of privacy close to town amenities and commuter routes off Route 117.With major recent updates, abundant expansion potential on the third floor and grounds, and an unbeatable natural setting, this Old Bolton Road property is a unique opportunity in Stow.
