Rare opportunity for newer single-family living in Dorchester! Built within the last 25 years—unlike most area homes dating pre-1900—this spacious 4 bed, 3 bath home offers modern comfort and thoughtful updates throughout. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2022 with stainless steel appliances, and a kitchen island was added in 2023. Enjoy the convenience of a bathroom on every level, a gas log fireplace with electric starter, and a finished basement for extra living space. A flexible bonus room offers options for an office, gym, or guest space. Recent updates include a new water heater (2024) and freshly redone exterior stonework (2024). Outside, relax on the private back patio with shed, and take advantage of the gated tandem driveway for 2–3 cars, plus easy on-street parking. Additional features include a pull-down attic stairs, treated windows, and a walkable location near shops, eateries, and the train—just a few stops from South Station! Subject to suitable housing.
