About this home

A rare opportunity to live on Fresh Pond across from Grove Street park, playgrounds & courts overlooking the 1st hole of Fresh Pond Golf Course on the border with Belmont. This split level single family sits on a large 10,080 sq ft lot surrounded by nature with lots of yard space, garden space, privacy and 3 car parking to spare. And has lots of windows and sunlight, 2 working fireplaces, hardwood floors, an enclosed porch off kitchen with deck and a finished basement with a wet bar. This home was built to last in 1953 and meticulously maintained by the long time owners. While one might be inclined to update the bathrooms and windows and upgrade the finished basement, this is a property you don't want to miss. (Note: property is still being touched up and cleaned up, pictures to be updated and showings still welcome prior to open house as and if requested). OH Fri 4/24 5-7pm, Sat 12-2pm & Sun 4/2.
