When asked, “Why this house?”, the clear answer was and still is, “location”. Set in Milton’s desirable Columbine neighborhood, 51 Rustlewood offers proximity to Milton schools, Milton Academy, Turner’s Pond, and trolley access. Owners jumped right in, expanding to a rare 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with room for all. The coveted primary suite now includes a walk-in closet and sumptuous bath, choices smart and current. Expansion came easily with a complete 3rd floor takeover, including cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting, bedroom, full bathroom, lounge area and generous storage. A flexible first-floor office easily serves as a den or 5th bedroom. The eat-in kitchen with newer stainless-steel appliances opens to a fenced backyard and brick patio, perfect for play and outdoor entertainment. A screened porch off the living room, recessed lighting, newer windows, newer roof, gas heat, wired for EV, lower level recreation space complete the picture. Now the better question is, “Why wait?”!
"Great things come to those who wait" and the wait is now over! Prized Colonial in the sought after Columbine Neighborhood. New blue stone walkway and entry greet you and sets the stage for what's inside. Formal yet comfortable layout offers dining room with two built-ins, fireplaced living room with book cases, hardwood floors throughout and an updated cook's kitchen that make life easy. No wonder people seem to gravitate to this kitchen. Granite counters, stainless appliances, open glass cabinets, gas cook top island plus an eat-in breakfast area. Bonus home office overlooks the level rear yard. Grab your coffee and relax in the fully glassed three season porch or step outside and enjoy the brick patio. Four corner bedrooms, updated baths and walk up attic. Today's active lifestyle often requires more space and this finished basement brings it on.
