We could go on and on about the benefits of owning this beautiful Highlands Colonial! Location is wonderful- a lovely neighborhood setting, yet so close to schools, park, shopping, & the Highlands commuter rail stop. The serene outdoor space is amazing - there's a huge patio w/ firepit, a private fenced yd, space for grilling & entertaining, beautiful gardens w/ many perennials, irrigation,& raised bed space for summertime vegetables. A bonus - the artist studio could also be a children's playhouse or simply a spot for more storage. Inside, you'll love the modern kitchen w/ a 5 burner, 2 oven professional stove, granite counters, under cabinet lighting, and a sun-filled eating/ hang-out space! The living rm, dining rm, family rm (with woodstove) & 1/2 ba complete the 1st floor. The 2nd flr has 3BR (or 2 + an at-home office) plus a spa bath,& the skylit 3rd flr is an ideal retreat for a primary BR w/ ensuite BA and huge closet. Playroom & laundry rm in LL - see more details attached
