About This Home
As of September 2025Impeccable attention to detail graces every inch of this stunning home: exquisite millwork, rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a true chef’s kitchen that opens to an elegant dining area overlooking lush, tiered gardens through a dramatic wall of windows. The fireplaced living room and entire first floor are finished in gleaming hardwoods. A thoughtfully designed mudroom keeps everyday essentials organized, while the first-floor full bath impresses with a fully tiled shower and heated floors. Upstairs, discover three spacious bedrooms and an oversized bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dedicated laundry space with folding counter, all illuminated by a charming skylight. The versatile lower level offers a playroom, office, storage, and a second mudroom with direct access to the one-car garage. A Beacon Hill–style patio and tranquil gardens create the perfect retreat—ideal for a hammock and a good book. Prime location near Oak Grove station and city amenities.
