Hopkinton MA Real Estate ~ Just SOLD 16 Blueberry Lane Hopkinton Massachusetts. Listed at $629,900 and sold at $615,000 by Bill Gassett RE/MAX Executive Realty. This home closed in the popular Blueberry neighborhood on November 30, 2011.

It came as no surprise to me that this home at 16 Blueberry Lane in Hopkinton went under agreement so fast. Blueberry Lane is without a doubt one of the most popular neighborhood settings close to town center. When a home comes on the market it is usually scooped up pretty quickly! This home was not exception as it was on the market for less than two weeks

As you approached this home it was readily apparent that the owners took pride in their property. From the well manicured grounds to the recently painted exterior you knew walking in the door you would find much of the same.

The interior was no less appealing with a traditional layout that was well received by the majority of buyers. It included a large entry foyer flanked by a formal dining and living room. The dining room was appointed well with hardwood flooring, crown moldings and shadow box wainscoting. The formal living room/parlor also had hardwood floors and French doors to the spacious family room. The living room could easily be used as a 1st floor study if desired as the French doors created a nice sense of seperation. The first floor ceilings were 10 feet on the 1st floor which was a feature I really enjoyed.

Another exceptional feature was how well suited it was for entertaining guests. The entire back side of the home consisted of the kitchen, family room, screened porch, deck and patio. These areas were blended together very well a well combining both interior and exterior living.

The kitchen was very well done with nice Maple cabinetry, spacious center island, Silestone counters and both a wall oven and stove for those that enjoy cooking. There was certainly an abundance of cabinetry as well as a large eating area with a pair of sliders and glass door out to the deck, screened porch and patio area.

Also adjacent to the kitchen wss a terrific family room that had a brick fireplace, partial cathedral ceilings including two skylights, as well as numerous closets that the owner added during construction. This was a real comfortable space that flowed well. Lastly there was a laundry area and powder room directly off a hallway that leads to the garage

The second floor had five spacious bedrooms which is not easy to find at this price point. Anyone who has a large family would find this to be an excellent amenity. Of course the master was exceptional with cathedral ceilings, a his and her walk-in closet and a spacious bath that had cathedral ceilings and skylights.

All of the other bedrooms were good size and even the bedroom over the foyer was not all that small as they typically are. The 5th bedroom doubled as an office and featured cathedral ceilings and an attractive specialty window. All of the second floor carpeting was just replaced with brand new neutral carpets.

The backyard at 16 Blueberry offered plenty of space to have a ball game or just relax and enjoy the deck, patio, and screened porch. This Hopkinton home was heated With Hydro-air by Oil and had central air. Blueberry Lane enjoys public services with water and sewer. Lastly there was a storage shed to house all the lawn equipment and tools.

In total this home had 9 rooms, 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The total gross living area was approximately 3042 square feet. The lot is 1.12 acres. The taxes for 2011 are $10,026.

Good news for Hopkinton! November Sales are in and it was a more robust month as compared to November of 2010. Fifteen single family homes (and one condo) were sold in November 2011, as compared to 12 homes in 2010 (and 3 condos). Even market time has improved. Last year, it took on average 103 days to sell a single family home in Hopkinton - This year?  Only 88 days on average!  The average list and sale price has slipped a bit (a 3% drop in avearge sale price).  The per square foot sale price is very close to last year's number.    If it's the time to move for you - Do it now - The market is stable, the buyers are out there and the options to buy are significant - Don't wait because of what you hear the market is doing - Look at the data.  Hopkinton has been and continues to be a great town to live in and the data supports that.
