Charm, elegance, location and period details adorn this wonderful Waban Colonial. Located on a quiet, winding, tree-lined street, the home sits atop a wooded lot offering wonderful sight lines, privacy, and serenity. The sun splashed foyer introduces you to the large formal living room with its floor to ceiling windows, built-in book cases, fireplace and 8.5' ceilings. The western facing family room features three walls of windows that overlook the treetops as they light up with the setting sun. The open concept dining area and kitchen are the perfect setting for gatherings and entertaining, which can continue outdoors onto the deck and landscaped yard. There is plenty of space in this home with 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and a bonus room and bath in the finished basement. The spacious walkup attic offers even more room for expansion potential. Conveniently located to the shops and restaurants of Waban Village, along with easy commuting access to the “T”, highway, and downtown Boston.

Captivating 1920's colonial tucked away on one of Waban's prettiest streets. Eight bright and airy rooms feature a first floor with a lovely formal living room complete with a fireplace and French doors. The open floor plan leads to the sunny dining area, kitchen, and the front-back (12x23) family room. There is a spacious deck off the kitchen ideal for relaxing and al fresco dining, or just enjoying the large beautiful private back yard with established plantings. The second floor features 4 bedrooms and an updated bath. There is a walk up stair case to the spacious attic with loads of expansion potential. Beautifully landscaped yard and gardens plus tree top views from nearly every room make for a delightfully serene setting. Minutes to the Village with shops, restaurants and the Green Line "T". The Angier Elementary School is blocks away. Fantastic commuter location with easy highway access.
