HUGE PRICE ADJUSTMENT / INCREDIBLE VALUE!! Recently featured in the Boston Globe, there is nothing cookie cutter about this gorgeous 1830's Mansard Colonial. Nestled beautifully on a large fenced-in lot in the heart of Summer Ave's charming Historic District, this home is a must-see. It features a beautiful and extensive design-inspired remodel with exquisite attention to detail, while carefully preserving the charm and character of the past. High ceilings, built-ins, period molding, quarter-sawn oak and wide pine floors, gas fireplace, open sun-filled rooms, designer kitchen, large bathrooms, en suite master, front and back staircases make it truly unique ~ this home is full of personality! Updated electrical and plumbing, central air, newer roof and heating system, blown-in insulation, and expansion potential in the basement are frosting on the cake. Perfectly located close to downtown shops, commuter rail, and schools. Don’t miss it!
