Newly refreshed and ready to move in, this lovely 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence blends classic charm with modern updates - all nestled on an expansive 50' wide lot within walking distance to the Green Line, Farmers Market, schools, and parks/recreation centers. Step inside to discover a seamless first-floor flow, anchored by a double parlor living room thoughtfully divided into three distinct conversation zones - perfect for hosting or quiet relaxation. The dramatic dining room, with its rich wall color and period light fixture, makes an elegant backdrop for dinner gatherings. The eat-in kitchen shines with brand new stainless appliances, quartz countertops and backsplash, and freshly refinished cabinets and floors. The full bathroom completes the first floor. On the second floor are four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a private primary en-suite. But the show-stopper awaits on the third floor -- soaring ceilings and flexible living spaces - ideal for a family lounge, playroom, home office, or all of the above! The basement is outfitted with so much built-in storage you will be amazed, including multiple cedar closets. There is also a kids space, perfect for crafts or homework. Outside, a bluestone patio overlooks a lush, greenery-filled yard, while a raised bed on the south of the home invites the opportunity for fresh vegetable gardening. This move-in ready home is freshly painted throughout (inside and out) and sits in a lively, walkable neighborhood - ready to welcome its next lucky owners.
