This spacious home is ideally situated on a quiet, dead-end street near Forest Hills train station, offering a high degree of privacy with no neighboring houses to the rear. The property retains its original charm despite comprehensive renovations....
It features a generously sized first floor and a finished basement, enhancing the overall living space.
While the living room currently presents a darker ambiance due to its gray walls, this could be easily transformed with a lighter paint color. The home also boasts ample off-street parking and an expansive garage, providing sufficient space for cars, bikes, kayaks, and additional storage needs.
Forest Hills-Woodbourne, located between Franklin Park and the Arnold Arboretum, is a residential and transit-linked Boston neighborhood with a leafy park edge and a mix of triple-deckers and early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates at Washington Street by Forest Hills Station, where taquerias, bakeries, small groceries, and barbershops line the sidewalks under the rumble of buses and trains. Forest Hills Station and the Southwest Corridor Park set a daily rhythm of commutes and long, straight walking and biking paths. The Arnold Arboretum’s gates frame weekend loops and quiet overlooks. Franklin Park’s trails and playing fields pull the landscape outward. Local staples like Brassica Kitchen + Cafe and The Haven anchor the dining scene.
