Listing broker remarks

Just imagine waking up on Follen Hill. Custom built in 2005 to evoke a turn-of-century Boston brownstone - turned bannister, oversized windows, exquisite molding around every window, door, and ceiling. Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, three finished floors. Double pocket doors open the formal living and dining rooms to a fireplaced family room. A chef's kitchen with oversized island, walk-in pantry, double ovens, built-in refrigerator, gas range with griddle. French doors and sliders open to a covered bluestone patio - the room you entertain in doubles when the weather agrees. The primary suite has a fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa bath. The second floor adds an en-suite second bedroom as well. The third floor has a play room, a large office, and a fifth bedroom. Moments from Lexington Center, Battle Green, and the Minuteman Bikeway. Bowman Elementary. Now imagine the dining room set for ten, pocket doors open, fire lit. This is not a starter home. This is the home you stop at.— The Agency Boston
