WELLS – Tucked away three quick and convenient miles from U.S. Route 1 and the center of town, here is a fine family home in a quiet, secluded neighborhood that abuts conservation land. The 1.14-acre lot is in fact screened by woods on three sides.

Built in 1978, the home is agreeably spacious at 2,267 square feet, and has four (or three) bedrooms, depending on one’s needs. One of the bedrooms is on the first floor, making single-level living a possibility.

The main level is partially open-plan, with the eat-in kitchen flowing into the dining room, which shares the front of the house with the big living room. In addition to extra space for a table, the kitchen has a bar for seating. The oak-floored dining room has an antique Sears Roebuck woodstove on a brick hearth. A full bath with soaking tub is off the hall.

Down a few steps from the back-to-front mudroom, there’s an oversized, two-vehicle garage with workshop space. Up a few steps from the mudroom, above the garage, there’s a great bonus/family room that’s brightened by a Palladian window at the front, has a pair of ceiling fans, and a gas stove on a tile hearth, and measures just about 400 square feet.

The family room also access the home’s main upstairs, directly through the master suite. Here the large bedroom is two-part, with a tiled office/sitting area, and a carpeted section for a plus-sized bed, flanked by single closets.

There’s a double closet, too, and French doors that open out to a private deck above the screen porch. The master bath features a newer, semi-circular shower enclosure.

Down the hall are front and back bedrooms, with a doorway connecting them, so that they can serve as a single bedroom with en suite study, game room, etc.

Excellent ceiling height helps give the full basement options for finishing. As is, one side is devoted to an exercise area, plus laundry on a platform; the other, to extensive workshop space.

The home at 118 Locksley Lane, Wells, is listed for sale at $284,900 by Jeff Majerle of Universal Properties at Keller Williams Realty in Falmouth. Annual taxes are $2,365.
