About this home
Welcome to Towne Estates, one of Brighton's sought after and well maintained communities, where whitewashed brick exteriors and tree lined streets lend a distinctly charming character. Extensively renovated with modern aesthetics, this spacious 2 bed 1 bath second floor unit has brand new heating and cooling systems and is move in ready. From seamless luxury vinyl flooring to smooth ceilings with recessed lights, to a neutral palette and fresh walls, every surface has been refreshed and elevated with a discerning design eye. A welcoming living room with an expansive window overlooking the tree lined street is the heart of the home, full of natural light, warm and inviting and perfect for entertaining or a private retreat. The expanded kitchen features an extensive bay of beautifully resurfaced upper and lower cabinetry in a design forward color scheme, jewel like hardware, a charming window and a statement faucet. A custom peninsula adds casual seating and a natural connection between the kitchen and living areas. An ideally located entry closet can serve as a kitchen pantry sitting directly across from the peninsula. The well scaled primary bedroom offers brand new carpeting, recessed lighting and a deep closet. An adjacent hall leads to the fully refreshed bathroom with a brand new toilet, stylish mirror, marble shelving unit, new lighting and a floor to ceiling linen closet. A hall walk in closet maximizes storage. A bright second bedroom works beautifully as a bedroom, office or den and offers another great closet. Two deeded parking spots and a seasonal outdoor pool. Chandler Pond sits just steps away, beloved for its walking paths and quiet natural beauty. Easy access to the MassPike, acclaimed shopping and destination dining. Boston College, Brighton Center and Newton Commonwealth Golf Course all within easy reach. Thoughtfully reimagined with a nod to old Boston charm, this is a special find in a vibrant location.
Oak Square, located between Brighton Center and Newton Corner, is a residential and commercial Boston neighborhood with a busy crossroads and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Washington Street and Faneuil Street junction, where corner pubs, longtime bakeries, and small service storefronts line the sidewalks. Triple-deckers and compact apartment blocks mix with detached houses on leafy side streets. Rogers Park and the Charles River paths shape daily routines with courts, fields, and riverfront loops. The Massachusetts Turnpike edge and nearby commuter routes give the area a distinctly in-motion feel.
