The “Grand Dame” of Norfolk Road, this classic Jason Heights 1910 Colonial on an oversized 8,000+sf lot, is arguably the most magnificent home on the street! Owners of 55+ years took amazing care of this beauty, working hard to preserve its original grace and charm. It is now ready for the next generation to occupy its lovely spaces and update to their own needs and style. Elegant foyer invites you into large, graceful rooms w/ enormous windows, wood-burning fireplace, original woodwork, period details, high ceilings, and glistening hardwood floors. Family room opens to sunny screened-in porch overlooking the level, hard-to-find large yard with mature gardens that have been expertly cared for. Grt 3rd fl potential! If you don’t know how wonderful this neighborhood is, you must come see it! Steps to Spy Pond, Menotomy Rocks Park, Arlington Center, and one block to the Alewife T bus stop. This special home is a unique combination of style, quality, history, and location - simply perfect!
