OPEN HOUSE Saturday 10/31 1-3pm. 4 Boyce Road has had one owner for more than forty years, and it's in the kind of condition most people only manage the week before a party. No scuffs, no "we'll get to it" projects, no surprises. Just a house that has been maintained, updated, and loved every single year. You can see it from the road, with crisp cedar shake siding, tidy landscaping, and enormous front and back yards. Inside, gleaming oak hardwood runs from room to room, with crown molding, picture-frame wainscoting, and solid six-panel doors throughout. The formal living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a white columned mantel and a glass-paned French door. For everyday living, the den has a stone floor and sliders right out to the deck, overlooking all that nature has to offer. The eat-in kitchen has paneled wainscoting and room for everyone who ends up hanging out there anyway. The laundry room doubles as a pantry, with access from both the kitchen and the bedroom wing. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a full private bath. The other bedrooms are bright and quiet, and the baths keep it classic with black and white octagon tile and chair rail. This seller didn't just keep things clean, she kept them current. The roof is two years old. The garage got an epoxy flake floor in 2022, and it's cleaner than most kitchens. The retaining walls went in in 2022 and 2024. A whole-house generator means a winter storm is just an excuse to light the fire. The full basement is enormous, with a Culligan water system and room for a gym, a workshop, or both. Out back, the Trex deck has a remote-operated awning, and a circular driveway brings it all home. All on one level, on a road so quiet you'll hear the leaves before you hear a car. Homes kept like this one don't come along often.
