Two kitchens, a quiet cul-de-sac, and room for everyone at the table. This oversized 3-bedroom, 2-bath North Grafton ranch puts cooking front and center. There’s a sunny eat-in country kitchen on the main level and a second kitchen with a breakfast bar on the finished lower level. Simmer sauce on one stove while bread proofs on the other, host holiday dinners without the counter traffic jam, or set up a self-contained in-law suite with a kitchen of its own.The main level offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright living room with a picture window that easily doubles as a formal dining room. Then comes the heart of the home: a 24x24 family room with shiplap pine walls, a bow window and a fieldstone fireplace. Sliders open to a deck overlooking a private yard framed by mature plantings. The skylit three-season sunporch catches light from morning coffee to evening wind-down.A separate entrance through the garage gives the lower level real independence. Guests, extended family or clients can come and go on their own schedule while everyone upstairs keeps their privacy. Along with the second kitchen, the lower level has a second family room, the second bath and a large heated mudroom, and it works as in-law living, a home office or a gym. Updates include a new boiler and water heater, a 2013 roof, windows, flooring, interior doors and hardware, and fresh paint. You’re minutes from the Mass Pike, Routes 495, 20, 290 and 146, the commuter rail, and Tufts’ Grafton campus.
