Listing broker remarks

Poised atop a quiet hill and surrounded by towering trees, 12 Parkway Drive is a private retreat where nature takes center stage. Abutting the breathtaking Breakheart Reservation, this exceptional property offers the rare feeling of living deep in the woods while remaining just minutes from Boston. The expansive lot creates an unmatched sense of seclusion, with a backyard that evokes the landscapes of Vermont or New Hampshire rather than Greater Boston. Enjoy coffee with birdsong, dine under the canopy, or simply unwind in a setting where privacy is your closest neighbor. Inside, oversized windows invite the outdoors in, filling the spacious layout with natural light. Four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet, provide room to recharge, while the kitchen and breakfast area frame peaceful woodland views. A hilltop front patio offers another serene escape, all tucked away on a cul-de-sac with convenient access to Route 1 and Logan Airport.— Leading Edge Real Estate
