Tucked among beautiful homes and tree-lined streets just 0.4 miles from the heart of Roslindale Village. Walk to morning coffee at the neighborhood café, enjoy special evening dinners at the beloved Sophia’s Grotto, stroll to the Roslindale Farmers Market on the weekend - these are all part of the appeal of the lifestyle this location provides. Situated on the top floor of a detached three-unit, owner-occupied condo building, the home allows natural light in from every direction. Beautiful original hardwood floors highlight this well-proportioned layout. The two bedrooms are at opposite ends of the home and offer both privacy and versatility, because life may change over time. The second bedroom can work well as a home office, guest room, workout room or nursery. The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances and access to a private screened-in deck. Find your serenity nestled up high and surrounded by the sounds of birds and the trickle of a tranquil koi pond and beautifully maintained gardens below. Central AC, TWO off-street parking spaces, and private basement storage provide everyday convenience and check all the right boxes. Recent improvements include updated lighting, fresh interior paint, and a brand new roof in 2024. A shared front yard offers opportunities to connect with the vibrant village community, where independent cafés, restaurants, shops, and neighborhood traditions create an unmistakable sense of belonging. The charm of a quiet residential setting with the convenience and energy of village-life just up the street. So much to love! ** FIRST OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY 4:00–5:30p**
