You want space, privacy, and a location that actually simplifies your day. This High Street Colonial in Canton, MA delivers all three. Set on a private 1.23-acre wooded lot, the home feels like a retreat—yet you’re walking distance to the commuter rail and Canton’s downtown restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences. Around the corner, the Paul Revere Heritage Site adds a dose of history and green space to your routine, and the soon-to-open Museum of Discovery & Innovation (MODI) promises a new riverfront destination with culture, learning, and dining. It’s the best of Canton: quiet when you want it, connected when you need it.
Inside, the layout gives you room to live well. With approximately 2,885 square feet across ten rooms, you have spaces that adapt to your life today and your plans tomorrow. The bright, open kitchen is the heart of the home, with natural light and easy flow that make weeknights feel relaxed and weekends feel effortless. Slide open the door to the oversized Trex deck and the scene changes from everyday to extraordinary—your view stretches over the pool and the wooded yard, and suddenly hosting friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee feels like a small luxury you get to repeat.
What truly sets this property apart is the backyard experience. The in-ground pool invites long summer afternoons, while the cabana keeps towels, snacks, and gear organized so you can focus on fun. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off a breeze, and the hot tub and dry sauna turn chilly evenings into a spa-like ritual. It’s easy to picture family gatherings, birthday parties, and lazy Sundays unfolding here, all against the backdrop of trees, birdsong, and complete privacy. Everyday life feels calmer when you can step outside and breathe.
The home’s updates make ownership simple. Two new full bathrooms bring a fresh, modern feel to daily routines. A new boiler and water heater offer peace of mind for the seasons ahead. The Trex deck is newer and designed to be low-maintenance—more time for living, less time for chores. A finished media/playroom adds flexible square footage for movie nights, gaming, or a creative studio. And the four-car garage? That’s storage for cars and so much more—bikes, tools, skis, holiday bins—without compromising your indoor spaces.
Life here runs on convenience. In the morning, you can walk to the train for an easy Boston commute. In the afternoon, you can swing through Canton Center for errands, pizza, sushi, or a sweet treat. On weekends, stroll the Paul Revere Heritage Site, meet friends by the riverfront green, and soon, explore the exhibits at MODI. Need big-box options? Cobb’s Corner is minutes away. Hopping on the highway for a Cape day trip or visiting friends across the Metro South? Quick connections make it easy. If you’re a dog owner, two nearby dog parks turn exercise into playtime and social time all at once.
The home balances classic curb appeal with modern comfort. From the quiet approach along tree-lined High Street to the sense of arrival as you pull into the driveway, there’s pride of ownership everywhere you look. Natural light, functional rooms, and thoughtful finishes make the interior feel welcoming without being fussy. You can move right in, start hosting right away, and layer in your style over time.
If you’ve been searching for a forever home in Canton—one that offers a private lot, a walkable location, and amenities that make daily life feel special—this High Street address checks every box. It’s ideal for buyers who want space to spread out, love to entertain, and value being close to the train and downtown. It’s also a win for wellness-minded owners who appreciate the rhythm of a morning sauna or an evening soak under the stars. Most importantly, it’s a place that lets you choose your pace: fast when you need to get somewhere, slow when you need to reset.
Homes that combine this much land, this level of location, and this kind of resort-style outdoor living rarely come to market in Canton. When they do, they don’t linger. If the idea of a walk-to-everything lifestyle with a private backyard oasis speaks to you, this is your moment.
