Welcome to 10 Governor Road, where timeless 1927 character, thoughtful updates and a wonderful sense of wooded privacy come together on a quiet cul-de-sac. Step inside and natural light welcomes you into warm, inviting living and dining spaces, where beautifully refinished hardwood floors create an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Sun-drenched windows overlook a dappled pollinator garden alive with birds and wildlife, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into the home. The renovated kitchen blends style and function with stainless steel appliances, while a charming office framed by French doors offers the perfect place to work, read or retreat, with views toward neighborhood green space. A convenient mudroom and first-floor half bath add everyday practicality. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bath with radiant heat flooring create a peaceful private living space.
Since 2023, the owners have continued to enhance the home with meaningful investments in comfort, efficiency and peace of mind. Improvements include a new roof, Mitsubishi heat pump system, new 200-amp electrical service with updated panel and whole-house surge protection, extensive plumbing and water-pressure upgrades, updated stainless steel appliances, restored and refinished hardwood flooring, new stair treads and custom window treatments.
Step outside and discover another special chapter of the home. New fencing enhances privacy, while extensive landscaping and hardscaping, lawn improvements, a pea-stone patio, Corten-steel edging and planters, established fruit trees and berry bushes, and thoughtfully selected trees, shrubs and plantings create a backyard oasis designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Start the day with coffee on the patio, gather for summer dinners, enjoy the gardens and wildlife, or settle around the firepit on a crisp New England evening. It is a welcoming outdoor retreat that feels like a natural extension of the home.
