Comprehensively renovated in 2013, this gorgeous Waban home has benefitted from a recent stunning landscape project. It is under half a mile to the village, T and Angier, but well set-back from the street in a very private setting. A large foyer opens to a great living room with a fireplace and door to the 4 season sunroom. Across the foyer is a lovely dining room that opens to the oversized kitchen with tons of prep space, a breakfast bar & granite counters . A sunny breakfast room has sliders to the sprawling patio. At the back of the house is an amazing family room with soaring ceilings, walls of windows & a gas fireplace. A powder room completes this level. On the 2nd floor is the primary bedroom suite with a dressing room & bathroom with double vanity, air-jet tub and separate shower. There are 3 more bedrooms, each with an en suite bath. The walkout lower level has an outfitted mudroom with direct entry to the 2 car garage, plus laundry & music rooms. Radiant heat & central air.
