Beautifully renovated and appointed 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in coveted Indian Cliffs Estates set on just under an acre of impeccably manicured grounds. This exceptional home features a spectacular 784 sq ft great room with 14-ft vaulted coffered ceilings, a dramatic 14-ft fieldstone fireplace, and custom mouldings, finishes and lighting throughout. The chef’s kitchen showcases a 9 foot island, custom Scandia cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a 48” Wolf dual-fuel 6-burner range with griddle and double ovens. Spacious, sun-filled interiors include a luxurious primary suite, finished basement, finished attic, ample storage, and flexible living space throughout. The private backyard retreat offers a resort-style salt water pool, spa, expansive patio, and lush landscaping perfect for entertaining. Ideally located less than one mile from Wollaston Golf Club, Milton Academy, Milton High, and Blue Hills Reservation. A rare turnkey opportunity in one of Milton’s premier neighborhoods.
Milton Center, located between the Neponset River Reservation and Blue Hills Reservation, is a historic and civic Milton neighborhood with a walkable village core and leafy residential streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Adams Street and Canton Avenue junction, where small storefronts, cafés, and town services cluster in a compact streetscape. Landmark anchors include the Milton Public Library, the Milton Art Museum, and the Governor Hutchinson’s Field site. Architecture leans toward classic New England forms—Colonial and Victorian houses mixed with civic buildings and pocket greens. Sidewalks and short blocks frame an everyday rhythm of errands, coffee stops, and library visits. Trails and overlooks in the nearby reservations add a strong outdoor counterpoint to the village feel.
