About this home

"Eclectic and playful" historic Queen Anne home - prominently sited on a corner lot in the heart of the west side and admired by all including BostonMagazine.com where the seller speaks directly. This home is perfectly situated near the train, schools, town trails and the downtown. Enjoy breezes and bonfires on the private patio with shade from towering oaks. Pride of ownership shows in the expansive gardens and flowering trees with a special area for the tomato lover. Inside you'll find a flexible floorplan with amazing period detail, 10ft ceilings, large dramatic windows, built-ins, and gorgeous hardwood floors. The kitchen addition - architected by Nancy Toomey - is truly the heart of the home with endless cherry cabinetry, stainless appliances, a large center island, dual ovens, gas cook top, breakfast nook, and work station. Don't miss the "wall of windows" home office/sunroom or the walk-up attic which offers a bedroom, and play area/office flex space. Must be seen!
