If you know Bedford, you know this is THE spot in town! Highly coveted "Israel Putnam Village" is tucked right adjacent to the center, off lovely Fletcher Road! This Royal Barry Wills inspired Cape/Ranch home is the definition of curb appeal. A center chimney and 12/12 windows evoke the feeling of an antique, yet this home was custom built in 1980. Beautiful stone work & landscaping add to the stately presence. Live on one level here! The spacious kitchen graces the rear of the home, with a bow window and screened in porch connecting the house to the amazingly private yard. Peeks of the historic barns and homes along Great Road, along with a classic NE fieldstone stone wall & garden space create a rural feeling-yet you can walk to all of the amenities of Bedford Center! Back inside you will be pleased to find a front to back LR w/custom wall of built-ins and woodburning fireplace. 3 bedrooms including a master suite. Expansion potential on the 2nd level, currently art studio/storage.
