Listing broker remarks

Unique opportunity in MBTS near downtown, yet private with cultivated gardens in a natural setting. This open, airy, sun-filled home overlooks conservation land with walking paths. The great room offers an expansive atmosphere, distinguished by its high ceiling, balcony walkway and a library space. The massive fireplace provides a focal point and a wall of french doors invites one outside to the lofty deck to view all that nature offers. Culinary pursuits are encouraged by the spacious eat-in kitchen with a dining area and a cozy gas fireplace. The generously sized island was designed for both prepping and gathering. Gourmet amenities. Outdoor dining/grilling on bluestone terrace with ledge garden. Oversized garage has mudroom & storage capability. Spacious primary suite with a reading nook along the walkway that leads to 2 bedrooms with a shared bath and walk-in laundry complete the 2nd fl. Great aesthetic appeal and open spaces provide versatility & flexibility for discerning buyers!— J. Barrett & Company
