Nestled behind evergreen trees & greenery, this charming Arts & Crafts style single family home beautifully balances modernity & old world charm. Located on a quiet side street in Winter Hill, it is two blocks from the new Green Line Ext, a short ride to the airport, near schools, shopping, parks, bike path, Davis/Inman/Porter/Union and Assembly Squares. The first floor allows for one floor living, featuring a bedroom, full bath, & an open layout with the kitchen, dining room & living room opening onto one another. Upstairs are two light and airy bedrooms, a 2nd full bath & a walk-in attic/bonus room that can be used as desired for storage or as an office/playroom/yoga room/guest bedroom. High ceilings throughout. The gated side yard doubles as off-street parking or as a peaceful courtyard area & entertaining space. Very easy on-street parking. There is a comfortable covered porch, a large open cellar with a concrete floor, & solar panels which provide the lion's share of electricity.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
