About this home

Do not miss this exceptionally beautiful home! Vintage Victorian charm of the turned stair and stain glass foyer meets modern beauty in the open kitchen floor plan, and elevated gas fireplace. The kitchen is renovated with stainless appliances, granite counter, a generous island and full glass door to the beautiful yard. The second floor is home to four generous sized bedrooms and the lovely full bath. The third floor is a recent renovation with skylights and box windows making for a fantastic TV room or fifth bedroom. The exterior is wrapped on two sides by an enclosed porch suitable for rocking chairs, play areas or storage for a fleet of bicycles. The yard is a hidden oasis with paved patio for the grill and a gravel niche with a table for summer dining alfresco. In addition, there is ample parking and storage in the two car garage and oversized driveway. Other surprises include central air, and a very large lot. All of this on the bus line to Harvard Sq and Alewife!
