Listing broker remarks

Set on an idyllic dead-end street among the Bird Streets of the Upper Washington St area of West Roxbury, this home offers the perfect contrast of city convenience and suburban tranquility. You'll enter this modern colonial via an expansive wrap-around porch, ideal for morning coffee, and step into a beautiful open foyer. Natural light floods the oak hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the open floor plan, which is complete with detailed moldings and fine finish carpentry. From the gas-fired living room to the kitchen's custom cabinetry and granite counters, every space is thoughtfully finished. The kitchen is adjacent to a large dining area, where patio doors lead out to an oversized deck overlooking a private, woodland backyard. Upstairs, the generous master suite is truly impressive, featuring a cathedral ceiling, a full bathroom, an office nook, a skylight, and a bonus large, finished attic room. The remaining spacious and bright bedrooms allow the natural surroundings.— Simply Sell Realty
