Sensational Spanish Mission style home! Spanish Mission style architecture was inspired by the churches built by colonial Spanish missionaries and is distinguished by its plain, stucco or stone exterior and red tile roof. The grand entrance foyer takes your breathe away with the soaring ceilings,balcony over look, period lights and stained glass windows. So much quality and detail went into this spectacular kitchen from the large granite island/farm sink/stainless appliances/pot-filler over stove/wine refrig/cabinetry. The front to back living room and formal dining offer arched windows. An open flow is perfect for entertaining and gatherings. 4 large bedroom (two of which have en suite baths) and additional closet storage make up the second floor. Relax in the media room after your workout, (both in the lower level) or step outside to the gated courtyard area.So much here right in the heart of Worcester with 10 colleges, cultural venues, 2 hospitals,sports teams including the Woo Sox!
