This beautifully updated 1928 Colonial in the South End perfectly balances period architectural details with modern upgrades. Chestnut woodwork, dentil moldings, and hardwood floors showcase the home’s classic character, while extensive improvements, including updated electrical and plumbing, split-duct air conditioning, built-in speakers, a gas fireplace, and a freshly painted exterior, provide comfort and peace of mind for years to come. The renovated kitchen & baths have been finished to perfection. Overlooking the backyard, the stunning kitchen w/skylight features quartz countertops, breakfast bar, a striking glass tile backsplash, farmhouse sink & SS appliances. The 2nd floor hall bath is a standout, designed in a timeless black & white palette with a custom hand-set hex tile floor. A two-room primary suite, connected by an arched wall opening, offers a bedroom plus adjoining sitting/dressing room. The third floor provides exceptional flexibility w/a bedroom, large closet & beautifully designed ensuite bath w/shower, ideal as an alternate primary suite, guest room, or office. The finished tiled basement with recessed lighting adds valuable living space-currently used as a family room & exercise area. Expertly designed backyard with expansive bluestone patios, stacked-stone sitting walls, and a raised fire pit area creates multiple outdoor entertaining spaces. A creatively designed bluestone front walkway with attractive railings completes the home’s curb appeal.
