PLEASE NOTE UPDATED OH TIMES! Tucked away on a private road in the Grove neighborhood of West Roxbury, this property is an incredible find for those seeking privacy while still enjoying the Boston lifestyle. Situated on a triple lot totaling 8,253 sq ft, this home was gut renovated in 2016 with all systems replaced. Perfect for entertaining, an open concept floor plan on the first level lends to gathering around the breakfast bar while prepping for the BBQ of the summer in your fabulous backyard. Hardwood flooring flows seamlessly between the kitchen, dining and living areas to the first-floor bedroom. A skylight illuminates the staircase to the second level featuring a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. A smaller bedroom perfectly suited as a nursery or office is adjacent. This rare offering is located just minutes to Legacy Place and the commuter rail. If you are seeking an oasis, an urban retreat that isn't quite the suburbs, this is the home for you.

This in an investor's dream. It is a single family home tucked away in a quiet corner of West Roxbury. It needs some TLC but for the right buyer, this is a dream investment. It has capacity for a new addition. There is a 3300q.ft. lot that comes with the property. It has a huge yard as well and could be use to add value to the main property. The house itself would need a major update including Kitchen, Floors, Electrical and some cosmetic. If a buyer has some extra cash to invest, this is a great investment since the houses in the area already hold great value.
