About this home

Just a short jaunt from the heart of Roslindale, this well-cared for urban retreat will warmly welcome you home. This spacious 4 bed / 2 bath home boasts enough room for you, family and dinner party guests. With ample closet space, first floor laundry, a 300 sq ft gym/play/office space in the basement, and gas fireplace, this home has it all. And then some. The professionally managed, fenced-in yard is an oasis to restore yourself after a long week with a large deck for entertaining, a stone patio for quieter nights, and a gorgeous enclosed spa for the ultimate relaxation. Original owner has taken care of all the things you'd never think of including two sheds (one that can likely store a small car!), a programmable sprinkler system w/ separate water meter, guarded and heated gutters, an in-line water filtration system (4-5 yo), a sump pump (2 yo), and full insulation (1 yo). Welcome to your new, fully-loaded, retreat-in-the-city home!
