About this home

Nestled on a 12,000 square foot lot on a private road near two golf courses, this expansive 3,000 square foot Colonial has been thoughtfully updated for modern living. The first floor features an open kitchen, flexible living/dining space, and a sun-drenched family room that flows to a deck overlooking a large, flat, fenced-in backyard. The open kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, offers direct entry to the 2-car garage. Central A/C cools much of the home. The second floor provides flexibility with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths (one ensuite with potential to add a third), and the option to use as a 1-bedroom apartment-like suite with high ceilings, a balcony and private entry. The partially finished lower level offers more space for customization. Convenient to major highways and just minutes from Boston, Logan Airport, and Newton-Wellesley Hospital.
