The eat-in kitchen shines with a butler's pantry, custom built-ins, and gas cooking. Dentil moldings, ornate hardware, curved, stained & beveled glass windows, coved ceilings, and pocket doors highlight the homes exquisite charm. The grounds transition into a lush garden oasis replete with mature rose bushes, mountain laurel, daffodils, and rose of Sharon, alongside a detached garage. Modernized with a newer roof and updated systems, this property sits moments from Town Field and both the Fields Corner and Shawmut T stations, perfectly pairing historic elegance with seamless commuter convenience.
