Location is key! Updated Colonial in the heart of Horace Mann! Tastefully and thoughtfully updated and truly turn key condition! Natural wood trim & FP flanked by glass front bookcases in the LR. Elegant DR that is conveniently located next to the updated eat-in kitchen with ample prep and cabinet/pantry space. That hard to find FR and OFF are nearby. Master bedroom suite includes a new luxurious bath with quartz topped double vanity, pretty tile and a custom walk-in closet. Newly installed CA will keep you cool inside this summer and the deck awning will keep you comfortable outside on the sunniest of days-a great spot to host a barbecue or dine al fresco. Energy efficient solar panels will keep your electric costs low and the lease is transferable. Commuters take note-the Highlands Commuter Rail and bus to the T is a short stroll away as is Whole Foods, restaurant's, schools and parks. Homes of this caliber in this location are rare so do not miss this beauty!
