The first floor includes the accessory apartment, a fully equipped 2 bedroom suite with kitchen and laundry, just right for guests, extended family, or as income potential. The sliding door opens to a private screen porch, the perfect place to enjoy sunsets, watch the wildlife, and just slow down and relax.

Shirley Highlights

Located in Middlesex County about 50 miles northwest of Boston and along the Route 2 corridor, the Town of Shirley offers modern amenities and a slice of quiet, small town life with rural ambience, and a sense of civic pride and volunteer spirit.

O v ersi zed Bonus Room

Settled in 1720 and incorporated in 1753, many names in town are those of founding families, and many handsome historic homes still stand, particularly in the picture-perfect Town Center. A vacation destination in the 1900s for Boston folk, Charles Goodspeed described the area as far enough to be two days travel by horse, yet near enough to enjoy a respite from the busy city - his legacy lives on in the Farandnear Trustees of Reservations property. Hundreds of acres of conservation land weave through Shirley, with many trails and parks.

Shirley’s small but friendly business community has growth potential. Don’t miss the park and public pool, new school buildings, and the 2011 regionalization of all grades with the neighboring Town of Ayer. Other perks include reasonably-priced homes, convenient commuter rail service via the train station in Shirley Village, and highway access via Route 2A, 495, 190, and of course, Route 2.
