Built-ins, a kitchen island, and a wet bar in the family room are set on an angle, and the rooflines create interesting angles, too. The updated kitchen has great exposed trusses. A three-car garage with space above it was added seven years ago, and two years ago the space became a lovely master suite. Outside there’s a koi pond. > CONS Buyers may want to paint the dark wood on some built-ins and redo the family bath. > CONTACT Broker/owner Sandy Splaine, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Worcester, 978-464-5460, nemoves.com
