Fabulous Northgate neighborhood with Boulder Brook Reservation nearby. Pretty Colonial-style residence located at the bend of Oxford Road. Built by Ralph Porter. Three bedrooms, center through hall and a rear addition that adds an office/study/extra bedroom as well as increases the kitchen space to make it a "country kitchen" or to use as an adjacent small family room. Delicious details will delight: diamond-pane windows in the front bay, traditional fireplace surround, dining room chair rail, etc. A very well-proportioned floor plan. Ready for imaginative improvement or possible expansion.
