Understated Elegance. Refined Finishes. Timeless Touches. Quality Updates. Ideal Location. These are the hallmarks of a home that embraces its past and is comfortable in the contemporary. Welcome to 299 Danforth circa 1900, 2,500+sf, 2.5 baths, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 car off-street parking. This elegant home appears much as it did 120 years ago which is a very good thing.

The kitchen and pantry are at once original and updated. The front-to-back living room offers an elegant fireplace and French door to the perfect screen porch. The second floor has four generous bedrooms and 2 full baths. The upper level has been transformed into a great room, family room, amazing work from home space or. .. Systems and other are updated. Outside the home is updated and offers years of stress-free enjoyment and the perfect patio and in-town perennial garden. Adjacent to Waynflete this location is close and convenient yet quiet. Enjoy!
