FANTASTIC LOCATION on this executive level ranch home in one of Athol's most desirable neighborhoods! Three bedrooms and two bathrooms all on one level make this a great retirement property. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout the L shaped dining and living rooms and down the hallway and into each of the bedrooms. The oversized living room is very bright from the wall of sliders that open onto a balcony styled deck that offers elevated views. A working fireplace and elaborate mantle are made more dramatic by the vaulted ceilings. There are several built-in AC units throughout the house and in each of the bedrooms. An oversized two car garage also has workshop possibilities and the enormous heated basement (with a cedar closet) is ready for any expansion needs. Outside there is a large side yard that is very level, a custom built circular stone terrace sitting area with mature shade trees and plantings throughout the property.
