Down a meandering brick walkway, amongst lush mature landscape, lies this hidden farmhouse gem offering exceptional privacy, period character, and outdoor space. Filled with light from northern and southern exposures, the home is defined by warmth—expressed through exposed brick, original stained glass, wainscoting, a freestanding wood-burning stove, and a circular floor plan. The main level features white oak floors, open living/dining room with bay window, and a kitchen finished with maple cabinetry, leathered granite counters, and a Butler’s pantry leading to an expansive brick patio. The second floor is centered around a spacious primary with sitting area and balcony, alongside a period-inspired bath with clawfoot tub and two additional bedrooms, one accented by a bay window. The top floor, finished with pumpkin pine floors, offers a 4th bedroom, dedicated office, and a full bath. Adjacent to 4 EV charging & Robert Paine playground, close to Oleana, Whole Foods & Red/Green MBTA.
