Imagine coming home from a long day’s work when after some dinner you just want to relax, unwind, prop up your feet, gaze at the nighttime starlit sky or moon, in the privacy of your own home… Well, you can in this spectacular home. The only trouble you’ll have is deciding when to call it an evening! This unique home in the Waltham Highlands has been totally re-imagined & completely refinished in a beautifully flowing & open floor plan. Its flexible layout enables up to 5 bedrooms or use one as an office. The 2nd floor family room also has that nighttime or daytime appeal through the encased glass works which look out & to the sky. The living room is actually double size beckoning a grand piano or perhaps enjoy it as a main level family room to entertain. The finishes are exquisite with beautiful hardwood throughout & fine tile & granite for the multi baths & kitchen counters. Ideally located for quick access to I95, shopping & public transportation. You will love it!
