About this home

Come see this most enchanting 1920's gambrel style colonial/cottage on one of the nicest streets in the George Wright Golf Course neighborhood bordering Roslindale. Enjoy beautiful sunsets & escape from the city in the serene, private back yard with mature flowering plantings under a canopy of tall shade trees. The lush front & back gardens were all designed/planted by the current owner, a professional gardener & designer. Although being an older home, you can move in and do improvements along the way. The majors have been done, roof 12 years old, boiler only 7 and house exterior painted this past summer. There are 3 bedrooms, 1st floor bedroom smaller, a fireplace that anchors the living room, a formal dining room and sunlit kitchen with SS appliances, quartz countertops & custom cabinets to the ceiling. 2 good sized bedrooms on the 2nd floor round up the interior w/a classic bath on this level. There is a very special 3 season covered porch w/windows galore, high ceilings & was used as an artist studio but the space can be flexible. Walk out on to the Trex deck w/ample seating & views of multiple gardens. The dry basement is ready to be finished, great as a playroom, gym, etc as its foundation is solid granite & the walls have been resurfaced. A bonus outbuilding w/electricity is currently set up as a workshop/garden shed and is being sold as is, full of tools & hidden treasures! There is off street parking for 2-3 cars in the driveway. Don't miss this special home!
