Listing broker remarks

Stoneham's Bear Hill neighborhood! A true New England cottage feel begins when you walk into a classic three-season porch with oversized windows and dutch door inviting in fresh air and natural light, a perfect mudroom. Rich in detail, the home features period craftsmanship throughout. The foyer sets the tone with inlay parquet hardwood flooring and classic wood staircase with a charming bench landing. Flowing into the living room, a grand pellet stove anchors the space, offering both warmth and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The main living area includes a formal dining room with slider access, seamlessly connecting to the outdoors, alongside a beautifully appointed eat-in kitchen for a timeless feel. A well-placed half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms to provide comfortable living space. Ample attic and basement storage, two-car detached garage. Upgrades include gas conversion, HVAC system, and a newer roof. Private showings only.— Compass
