Listing broker remarks

Down the street from the wonder of Peter’s Hill in the Arnold Arboretum, and tucked behind a charming Victorian, discover a rare urban sanctuary in this one-of-a-kind converted carriage house condominium. Enter through a private gate into a secluded courtyard, surrounded by lush plantings—a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or relaxing afternoons. Inside, the great room blends living, dining, and kitchen wrapped in warm natural woods, wainscoting, and cherry cabinetry. Upstairs, evoking the warmth of Vermont, an inviting open landing serves as a reading nook or home office, and the serene primary suite features cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a 4-piece bath. The garden level offers two additional spacious bedrooms, a bath, laundry, and ready access to the shared patio and gardens with grill and planting beds for all. Just minutes from Roslindale Village's shops, restaurants, and commuter rail, this irresistible home provides the perfect balance of nature, privacy, character, and convenience.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Boston
