Charming Raised Bungalow with Private Outdoor Oasis in Bedford

Set quietly on a large, tree-canopied lot in the heart of Bedford, 15 Merrill Drive feels worlds away from the city - yet it's just minutes from everything. This re-imagined raised bungalow blends timeless character with thoughtful design, creating a one-of-a-kind home that's both flexible and inspiring. The welcoming entry opens to a bright main living area where natural light flows across hardwood floors and a classic fireplace anchors the room. From here, glimpses of the Bedford Basin remind you that this is no ordinary property. Two well-proportioned bedrooms on the main level - including one tucked privately to the side with its own half bath - offer versatility for family or guests. A beautifully updated full bath completes the wing. At the back, the home opens into an exceptional addition - a warm, open-concept space that brings everyone together. The dining area sits beneath a subtly dropped ceiling with accent lighting, leading to a stunning kitchen with shaker cabinetry, granite counters, subway tile backsplash, and a walk-in pantry. A cozy reading nook overlooks mature trees and the private yard beyond - a perfect retreat for morning coffee or quiet reflection. Upstairs, the entire top floor is devoted to a breathtaking primary suite. Sunlight pours through windows on all sides, capturing Basin views and a sense of calm that's hard to describe. The suite features a walk-in closet, spa-inspired ensuite with double vanity, soaker tub, and walk-in shower, plus a charming widow's walk - an intimate spot to pause and take in the day. The lower level continues the theme of flexibility with a bright rec room, fourth bedroom, office, full bath, laundry, and built-in garage. Step outside and you're enveloped in privacy - a spacious deck, side yard, and mature trees creating a peaceful urban oasis. 15 Merrill Drive is a home that stands apart - a blend of comfort, character, and lifestyle that you won't find anywhere else.
