A few of the great features of this home are a quality kitchen featuring superb work space & deluxe appliances & the fenced in rear yard that rivals nothing you have ever seen before: privacy, professionally landscaped, spectacular overlook with smashing views of the Boston skyline & a garden started for your delight.

Cozy and chic Colonial with loads of detail and updates. This home has been well maintained. Great floor plan, high ceilings and bedrooms are average sized. There is room to add a second bath adjacent to the master bedroom. The oversized garage is...
a huge bonus! The back yard is an oasis with manicured lawn and gardens, patio and city views.

Lovely home on top of a hill, with a beautifully manicured yard and magnificent views of Boston. The house itself is well maintained, with a nice kitchen and adjacent living/dining area. The home also has a new state-of-the-art heating and hot water...
on demand system. The upstairs has three bedrooms and a sun room. The upstairs area could be easily changed to include an additional bath and closet space. There is plenty of parking space, plus a large two-car garage.
