Listing broker remarks

This Gothic Revival, built in 1845 and thoughtfully improved, is tucked away on nearly a 1/2 acre just outside of vibrant Dedham Square. It feels private, yet close to everything you need and has all the elegant, charming period details: gracious entry, high ceilings, tall windows, crown molding, rich hardwood floors and pocket doors. The current owners have been meticulous stewards, completing numerous capital improvements inside and out. The flexible layout balances gathering spaces for entertaining with comfy retreats to work from home or simply relax. Eat-in kitchen features a Sub-Zero fridge, new Bertazzoni induction stove and separate butler's pantry with plenty of storage to hide multiple appliances. Upstairs, four corner bedrooms all fit a king bed, including the primary with an ensuite bath featuring a 13'x5' walk-in, cedar closet. The expansive, level, fenced yard is a rarity; the landscape curated with gorgeous trees, shrubs and a row of hydrangeas lining the driveway. Central air, EV charger, NEST tech, plenty of parking and generous storage create everyday ease for today's lifestyle. Easy access by car or public transportation. Close to restaurants, shops, hiking trails, Charles River, Farmers' Market, Legacy Place, Costco, commuter rail to Boston, and Amtrak to Providence & NY. Offers due by noon on Tuesday, Sept 15.— Leading Edge Real Estate
