English Commons at Topsfield is a 55+ condominium community with 49 townhomes nestled in a quiet area, and each unit has features that make things comfortable and simple for older adults who don't want to worry much about maintenance. Most units have two bedrooms and three to four bathrooms, with large floorplans around 3,600 square feet or more, and you'll notice features like open layouts, high vaulted ceilings, skylights that let in lots of sunlight, and gas fireplaces in both the family and living rooms, which can be nice on chilly evenings. The kitchens are made for people who like to cook or just want things handy, with stone or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large kitchen islands, and sometimes even a wine fridge, and there's a breakfast area and a formal dining room for whenever family visits. You can have guests or spend quiet time in a sunroom or out on a composite deck that's easy to clean, and there are sliders that lead right out to a private patio or deck with peaceful views of the grounds.
Bedrooms often have walk-in closets and full ensuite baths, sometimes with double vanities, oversized showers, and whirlpool tubs, which is good if you have a need for extra space or comfort, and the homes have loads of storage, a lower level with family room, custom oversized wet bar, bonus rooms, and extra bathrooms, so there's plenty of space for hobbies or visitors. Each home comes with laundry in the unit, central air and forced air gas heating with separate zones, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, security systems, and several have central vacuum systems for easier cleaning. There's an attached two-car garage with a workshop space and paved driveway, so parking is simple, and you can keep things out of the weather.
The community itself sits on landscaped grounds, and there's a swimming pool that's heated and in-ground, a fitness center, putting green, clubhouse, gazebo, and marked walking trails that run through the property, so anyone wanting fresh air or light exercise can easily step outside, and there's a golf course nearby along with highway access and shopping for errands. Pets are allowed under the policy, and the doors and windows are insulated to save on energy bills. Safety features include sprinkler systems, modern circuit breakers, security coverage, and the monthly association fee includes services such as water, sewer, maintenance, snow removal, and trash pickup-most of the outdoor chores are handled by professional off-site management so residents don't have to worry about repairs or upkeep.
There are architectural details in every unit, from decorative moldings and tray ceilings to wainscoting and ceramic tile baths, giving things a traditional and tidy look, and there's plenty of natural sunlight from big windows on three sides. Most units were built from 2011 to 2014 with modern materials meant to hold up over time. The community is age-restricted to people 55 and over, which helps create a quiet neighborhood feel, and the facilities encourage engagement and activities when you want, while still giving lots of privacy and space if you'd rather keep to yourself. The whole place's set up for people looking for a secure, comfortable, and low-maintenance living arrangement during their retirement years.
