Investment Analysis — 8 Shady Ln

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street of just seven homes, this Wilbraham ranch is easy to underestimate from the curb — and impossible to forget once you're inside. Step through the front door and you're greeted by soaring ceilings and a completely renovated kitchen (2007 addition) that rivals anything you'll find in new construction: custom inset cabinetry, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, a drawer microwave, and a pot filler faucet over the range. Sliders off the kitchen open directly to a backyard that feels like its own private retreat. Gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the main level, which offers three bedrooms including a primary suite with a full bath and radiant heat floors — plus a second full bath, also with radiant heat. A family room with a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character for everyday living. Outside, the rear yard backs directly to protected wetlands, meaning no neighbors behind you — just open space, mature trees, and total privacy. The current owner has been known to practice his golf swing right off the back patio. Real cobblestone walkways, sourced from the streets of Boston, lead to a blue stone patio and fully fenced yard, all immaculately maintained. A shed offers additional storage, and the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. Efficient living comes standard: central air, a newly installed oil tank (August 2025) with an annually serviced burner, and solar panels keeping utility costs remarkably low — currently just $237/month with no electric bill and a $1,000 credit on the account. A BRAND NEW septic system being installed and the roof is approximately 12 years old. This is one of the most meticulously maintained homes on the market in Wilbraham today — a rare combination of privacy, updates, and turnkey condition on a coveted dead-end street.
