About this home

Nestled atop Boston Rock with an emphasis on openness and efficiency, this gem offers a floor plan designed for living the good life. Combining function and elegant form, the kitchen is the literal heart of this home.

A luxurious escape, the master bedroom boasts dressing room and bath with soaking tub and double vanity. Three additional bedrooms and full bath with laundry complete the second level. LL hosts office, full bath and media room, plus garage and patio access. Private yard is perfect for relaxation & gatherings!
