Located minutes from Wheaton College, Norton Country Club, highways, and the commuter rail.The first floor features wide-plank flooring, an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, a full bath, laundry, and the living and dining rooms. Upstairs, find two bedrooms and a large, luxurious bathroom - converted from the original third bedroom (assessor's record still reflects the original 3 bed/1 bath layout) - featuring a stand-up shower, clawfoot soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. One bedroom has recently installed wide-board, face-nailed flooring, echoing authentic 19th-century materials. The home provides storage at every turn, from walk-in closets to two sheds (8x12 and 12x15).Recent work and updates include new lally columns and footings (Certificate of Completion 2/2026), a new 275-gallon oil tank (11/2025), a whole-home generator hookup, a full vinyl siding replacement (2021), and a passed Title 5 inspection with no conditions (9/2025).Backyard features include a large back deck, a stone patio with a built-in fire pit, a fully fenced yard, and a nearly 3/4-acre lot backing up to the golf course. A rare chance to get the best of both worlds - Norton's history, with today's peace of mind. One year home warranty included.

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
