Short Sales

What’s better than a short sale in Boxborough? A buyer who is motivated to keep checking the listings and as a result, purchase an exceedingly fine property for a relatively low price. Typically, a short sale home sells for $200 a square foot in this region, although some sales are acquired at a lower rate.

Resplendent front and rear lawns dominate in this area, creating dappled private sanctuaries that are often ringed with trees and manicured shrubs. Inventive ranch style homes are offered for sale nearly as frequently as elaborate Tudor or Victorian homes. The former category generally features an extended ground floor that is capped at one end by a two story addition with garage space on the bottom floor and a loft space above. The size of this loft can be quite expansive, extending far beyond the confines of the garage itself.

The front room is not always encased in brick. In some instances, a greenhouse-like series of glass panels functions as both a window and a wall, creating a beautiful interior place for contemplating the outdoors. Brick is common as a flooring in this region. Some plants may still be housed near the edge of the floor. The more traditional living space features built-in bookshelves and brick walls, with a gigantic central fireplace acting as both a place of warmth and a conversational hub. The hearth is in many homes enlarged so that several people can sit side by side as they share drinks and stories, and look out on the array of couches, chairs, and tables that populate the room. Wood paneling is typical, but it is not always employed.

The kitchen often has an inverted L-shaped counter that creates a curving space for food preparation. The kitchen therefore feels more like two separate rooms than one large space. Tile is predominantly used in this region, although hardwood floors sometimes come into play. The refrigerator becomes a kind of bridge between the kitchen and the living room, as its massive silvery bulk can be glimpsed from both rooms. The bedrooms, meanwhile, swing back to wood as a prominent material, with folding wooden closet doors and plush carpets underfoot.

Bank Owned Properties

The properties that are listed as bank owned sales are often quite luxurious. Some of these homes, while originally built in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, have enormous modern additions that are masterpieces of contemporary living. They can often be purchased for only $220 a square foot, although in some auctions the price may rise to $300 per square foot depending on the amenities that are included.

The modern additions generally favor ample floor plans and striking views. Big windows overlooking lush yards are typical, as are loft spaces that have arched doorways, detailed nooks, and efficient central heating. A bedroom is often placed at one end of the addition, and has a dramatic sloping roofline. Small storage spaces that are built into the walls provide covered areas for keeping various medium sized objects.

The principal house is often sited so it spills out onto an elaborate exterior deck with a sloping wall that functions as both seating and as a kind of retainer against the elements. A firepit is often installed on this exterior deck, making it perfect for cookouts and romantic evenings under the stars. The kitchens, meanwhile, are located right inside the sliding glass doors, and have ample amounts of gleaming countertops perfect for an elaborate prep or a quick spontaneous snack. Recessed lighting is included throughout the home, making it easy to rapidly brighten the area with a flick of the switch. A giant atrium with sloping archways that leads to the central staircase is a favored design feature, combining grandiosity and intimacy.
