    What's special

    Beautiful Colonial style residence circa 1880's that has been updated to the highest standards while still maintaining the details and charm that make this a special home! The owners have painstakingly replicated the gorgeous millwork from the era such as wainscoting, built-in window seats, bookcases, dentil mouldings and ceiling medallions and blended these fine details seamlessly with all the features today's buyers hope for. The spacious eat-in kitchen includes a coffered copper ceiling, recessed lighting, a large granite topped island that seats eight and includes storage plus sliders to a deck and private patio with pavers. You will love hosting holiday's and dinner parties in the dining room which features a fireplace, bay window and gorgeous wainscoting and china cabinet plus French doors to the wraparound porch and also into the living room which includes two window seats, a bay window and lots of built-in bookcases and entertainment center. A large laundry closet is cleverly hidden in the half bath on the first floor...very convenient! Note the carved newel post and wainscoting that accent the staircase to the second floor where you will find three generous size bedrooms and a full bath. Add heat to the room on the third floor and create a fourth bedroom or in home office! The lower level, (square footage is not included in the living area,) has two finished, heated rooms and a large three quarter bath and it is just an ideal spot for a playroom, a place for teens to hang out or an in home office - you decide. After relaxing on the wrap around front porch take a stroll to the park, downtown, or jump on the commuter rail to Boston -it is all right outside your door!
