Listing broker remarks

Moss Hill occupies a particular niche in the Boston market, residential & quiet, yet close enough to the city and Center that the tradeoffs most buyers expect aren't there. Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this three-bedroom single-family home is generous in scale, grounded in a strong location, and full of room to grow. The floor plan offers 3 beds, 1.5 baths, & garage parking. Off the kitchen, a sunroom extends the living space, equally suited as a morning room, workspace, or casual dining area. Beyond it, an expansive backyard offers outdoor space that is genuinely rare at this scale. Walkability to several well-regarded schools, including the British International School, The Park School, and Dexter Southfield, is a day-to-day convenience that tends to be undervalued until it's part of your routine. The square footage, outdoor space, & address give a buyer with vision a lot to work with. Homes with this combination of land, light, and location don't come around often.— Compass
