Wonderful location on friendly cul-de-sac. Situated near 35 acre public wooded park. Neighboring house has private access to park. 3 bedrooms upstairs with interesting ceiling angles and dormer spaces. Front hall has low boxed-in structure...
(ventilation). Nice exterior patio with overhanging ceiling for shade & shelter from the elements. Terraced back yard could use some TLC. Interesting attic access through bedroom closet. Tread carefully on those stairs!

Here's the one you've been waiting for- Jason Heights AND Brackett school! This lovely Cape/ Colonial ( looks like a Cape, feels like a Colonial inside) is sited on a very pretty cul de sac, which backs up to Menotomy Rocks Park. The home features a 2003 kitchen with granite and maple cabinets with a red birch finish., a good sized dining room, a front-to back living room with fireplace, and a nicely tucked away powder room. There is a front-to-back master with two closets, and two more bedrooms with great closet space and a full bath. Home has central air and a nice family room with a fireplace in the basement. The backyard is beautifully terraced and abounds with seasonal perennials. There is a covered patio, perfect for grilling and entertaining. The road is a private way with all town services except heavy road maintenance. However, there is a Morton- Bellevue Association; dues are $85/ year to cover Rd. maintenance and a block party. Alewife bus at end of Rd. Short walk to park.
