Property Spotlight: 111 Captain Lijah’s Road, Centerville, MA 02632

Built in 1976 by local builders, Tellegen-Ferrone, this darling three-bedroom, two-bath saltbox is the oasis you’ve been seeking. On a quiet, tree-lined no-outlet street, you’ll find neighbors out with their dogs, working in their yards, and gathering to chat where the roads meet. The home’s grounds are park-like in design, with meandering pea stone paths leading from one horticultural vignette to another. 

White oak and pine sway in the breeze above hollies, euonymus, and a beautiful dwarf Japanese maple. Fully fenced, with a large outdoor shower, three sheds, and a second parking area, dog owners, green thumbs, and guests will immediately feel at ease. Inside, you’ll note the colonial accents, one-foot-wide plank pine flooring, a wood-burning hearth and mantle, a stained glass window, wood ceiling beams, by design the builder’s nod to the 200th anniversary of our country. 

The addition, built in 1993, with its large skylights and open floor plan, is the heart of the home. Light-filled and welcoming, the kitchen/dining/family room has newer appliances, a convenient full bath and a spacious sitting area that opens out onto a large composite deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms with great closet space and another full bath. There is also pull-down access to the attic where you’ll find extra storage space. 

The home is heated by forced hot air, fueled by natural gas, and cooled with central air and a 2014 mini-split in the sunny addition, for warmer months. The basement is dry with a built-in worktable, plenty of storage space, and access to the yard via a bulkhead. The septic system is on the street side of the property for those thinking of expanding or adding a pool.
