In the heart of Waban, this beautifully maintained, thoughtfully updated and expansive Colonial offers over 4,000 sq ft of versatile living space across four finished levels, plus an attached 2-car garage.

The gracious main level is equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, with a spacious fireplaced living room featuring custom built-ins and crown molding, and an oversized dining room connected to the kitchen by French doors. New hardwood floors, a powder room, flexible sunroom opening to the fenced backyard and side yard, and a mudroom with direct garage access complete the first floor. Upstairs are 3-4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, laundry and a large cedar closet. The sun-filled primary suite offers custom built-ins, multiple closets, a skylit dressing area and a spa-like bath with double vanity, soaking tub, steam shower and private water closet.
