Ever heard of the phrase “business in the front, party in the back?” This home understood the assignment. Built into the hillside on a beautifully landscaped 10,000+ sq. ft. lot, this 1967 gem has a vibe all its own, serving up a little post-mid-century personality with room to make it shine. From the street, a sweet bungalow/ranch welcomes you to the main level, where a garage, den, dining room, updated kitchen, 3 generous bedrooms & a fully tiled bath complete the floor. Then head downstairs, this is when it really gets interesting! Designed for gathering, the walkout lower level features a generous fireplaced living room, separate bar area & sliders to a gorgeous deck overlooking the lush green backyard. An optional primary suite with full bath, second garage bay & additional level of storage add flexibility. Cool, quirky, practical & full of potential, if you like it then you'll LOVE it! All on a quiet, dead-end street near the bike path & loads of shops & restaurants on Mass Ave!
