Enjoy large sunroom, neighborhood pool while living in Sturbridge home | REAL ESTATE

A spacious sunroom, four bedrooms and neighborhood amenities are all part of the appeal of a home for sale in popular Sturbridge. The property also is located on a cul-de-sac.

“Sturbridge includes a wide variety of home sizes and prices,” Realtor Melanie Fuller said. “Also, Lowder New Homes is building brand new homes in Sturbridge and will work with customers to customize homes.”

Sturbridge houses range in age from the late 80s to new construction. Most designs are traditional-style, Fuller said, including patio to large estate homes.

“Sturbridge is in a great location - convenient to lots of local restaurants, shops, entertainment, and area hospitals,” Fuller said. “There are wonderful amenities for residents to enjoy, including a clubhouse, tennis courts, fitness rooms and a playground and picnic area. Sturbridge is very family-friendly with sidewalks for walking.”

Other extras residents take advantage of include an 8-acre park, athletic fields, and fishing lakes, Fuller said. A mandatory homeowners association helps ensure that yards and homes are well maintained. Sturbridge stretches south from Vaughn Road to Taylor Road on the west and Ray Thorington Road on the east.

The location places residents near newer public schools, ballfields, plentiful shopping, and large employers such as AUM and Baptist East hospital.

The home at 8748 Twelve Oaks Lane was built in 1987 and provides 2,326 square feet of living space.

“The home is currently the best priced home in Sturbridge currently at only $113.93 per square foot,” Fuller said. “It has an open concept floor plan and includes four bedrooms and two baths along with an enclosed sunroom along the back of the home.”

The home’s spacious den has vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, a mirrored wet bar, and built-in shelving and cabinets, creating an ideal spot for relaxing. A bonus room is located adjacent to the den and offers versatile space which could be used for an office, playroom, or exercise room.

The pivotal kitchen has a large island and breakfast bar, stainless double sinks, stylish backsplash, butcher block countertops, and a separate pantry. A breakfast nook, laundry area and half bath are welcomed conveniences.

The large sunroom overlooks the deck and fenced backyard.

The main bedroom features a sitting area and en-suite bath complete with two vanities, a makeup counter, a large walk-in shower, garden tub, and walk-in closet.

There is an entrance to the hall off the kitchen from the two-car carport. The property is for sale for $265,000.
