About this home

Nestled atop Moss Hill is this beautifully updated residence with a fabulous artistic flair. On the first floor are a gracious front-to-back living room with a fireplace and gumwood paneling, a dining room with a separate alcove, a den, and a large, eat-in kitchen with a cozy booth and ample storage. A powder room completes this level. The highlight of the second level is the three-room master bedroom suite, which features a bedroom, a study, and an amazing four-piece bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor as well. A study or den is tucked away in the attic. On the lower level are a family room, storage, a laundry room, and a garage. There is a level, enclosed backyard, with an entrance from the kitchen. Professional landscaping, hand-placed stone work, Brazilian slate steps, and pretty gardens further enhance the grounds. The Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, and Larz Anderson Park are nearby.
