Majestic 1929 Colonial perched on a picturesque knoll overlooking a serene tree-lined street in Waban Village within short walk to the Angier School, Waban Square, and the Waban T Station. Fronted by a 70' long 3' high field stone wall. As you enter through the front vestibule, you are transported back to a time of classic elegance. A center stairway and hall greet you with a walk-in front hall closet. Turning left brings you to a 26' long living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond the living room is a large office or den. This timeless configuration continues with a large dining room and its resplendent crystal chandelier backed by a central kitchen. You will be amazed as you enter the 500 sf rear addition that has an unimpeded view of the expansive, private, flat rear yard. The second floor offers a large master suite and two additional bedrooms with another full bathroom. There is a large unfinished walk up attic, a walk-out basement and a one-car garage.
