Welcome to Waban. The Size will Surprise. Sited on 12,000+ sf of lush lawns, mature Hemlocks and colorful plantings, this sunny, classic Colonial has been meticulously cared for and loved by the same family for over 50 years. Thoughtfully expanded floor plan offers a grand size Kitchen detailing a dramatic paneled ceiling, high-end appliances, and multiple built-ins. The elegant Dining Room boasts a vintage archway and the generously proportioned Living Room displays a wood burning Fireplace. The comfortable Family Room overlooks the sweeping views of the Braeburn Golf Course. 4 oversized Bedrooms, a finished Basement with lots of Storage, heated 2 Car Garage, Solar Panels, AC, Fenced in Backyard, and a tiered Deck, complete this storybook home. Nestled amongst other homes with unique character and charm, this admired tree lined street is steps away from Angier Elementary, Waban Square, MBTA, NWH, and major routes. Urban conveniences with suburban leisure. Love Where You Live!
