A rare opportunity to live on Fresh Pond across from Grove Street park, playgrounds & courts overlooking the 1st hole of Fresh Pond Golf Course on the border with Belmont. This split level single family sits on a large 10,080 sq ft lot surrounded by nature with lots of yard space, garden space, privacy and 3 car parking to spare. And has lots of windows and sunlight, 2 working fireplaces, hardwood floors, an enclosed porch off kitchen with deck and a finished basement with a wet bar.
