About This Home

As of July 2019

Lots to love in this architect-owned home with attention to both design and functionality. Floor to ceiling French doors allow light to flow from room to room and highlight the hardwood floors and great natural light throughout. Watch the seasons change from winter sun to summer foliage in the living room and enjoy the South facing deck that is enjoyable for three seasons. The spacious kitchen has been artfully updated with quartz countertops, marble backsplash and recessed lighting. The layout of the rooms allows for flexibility depending upon the needs of your lifestyle. Of course, the location cannot be beat with convenient access to the Arnold Arboretum, Orange LIne T, and the shops, restaurants, and services of central JP. Additionally, there is parking for one car and loads of storage in the basement! Come by and fall in love.
