About this home

Here is your opportunity to own a lovely, Cambridge Highlands home in a quiet neighborhood, close to the Belmont line & area amenities (including Iggys, Whole Foods & Rancatore's). This 8 room Colonial sits on a 0.1 acre lot, amidst lush, perennial gardens which will delight you with waves of colorful blooms as well as the sweetest fruit from the apricot tree, golden and red raspberry bushes and grape vines. The back yard is raised and has been meticulously prepared to support organic gardening for the past 20 years. Inside you will find freshly refinished, gleaming hardwood floors on both levels. In addition to the 3BRs and 1BA upstairs, there is a "bonus" room, off the kitchen on the main floor with it's own separate entrance - a perfect retreat for your home office or private accommodations for your guests. The kitchen, dining room & living room round off the living space on the first floor. For storage you will find ample closets, attic, a full height basement & root cellar.
