Full of soul, this beautifully reimagined Craftsman home embodies the character of the 1930s while offering the ease of modern-day living! Thoughtfully redesigned by its former architect/owner, the layout is both versatile & intentional, where every space lives large. The design-driven kitchen pairs modern cabinetry w/concrete countertops, creating a fresh industrial yet artisan vibe. A sunlit rear “great room” addition, wrapped in windows, brings the outdoors in and opens to a side deck overlooking a fenced yard rich with well-established perennial gardens. Upstairs, you’ll find a fully renovated, stylish bath and three bedrooms, including a primary suite with skylit shower & custom-built closets. At the top, the “tree house retreat,” lined with built-ins, feels worlds away - a fourth bedroom, artist loft, writer’s sanctuary, or home office, you decide! Perfectly scaled & ideally located, just moments to the 77 bus to Cambridge/Boston & only blocks from Skyline Park & Brackett School!
