Private cul-de-sac retreat in sought-after Brentwood Hills! This updated home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and backs to HOA-owned open space that can never be developed, so your privacy and peaceful views are here to stay. The backyard is made for entertaining, with a heated in-ground pool, wood-burning patio fireplace, gazebo, and two storage sheds. The Weber grill is included. Inside, the 2018 kitchen renovation features granite counters, timeless finishes, and a breakfast bar open to the family room, with new sliding doors leading straight out to the pool. The finished basement adds approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of living space, ready for a rec room, home office, gym, or media room. Both baths have been updated: the primary bath in 2019 with a new vanity and tiled shower, and the main bath fully renovated in 2023. The big-ticket items are already done, including all new windows (2020), HVAC (2015), roof (2012), pool heater (2015), pool filter (2021), plus a new refrigerator and washer/dryer (2023). An alarm system is included for added peace of mind. Commuters will love being just 12 minutes from Somerville Station and 25 minutes from New Brunswick Station, then coming home to the quiet and charm of one of Hillsborough's most desirable neighborhoods.
