Listing broker remarks

Nestled in the heart of the beloved College Heights neighborhood, this charming colonial blends timeless character with modern comforts. Sunlight pours through new windows, highlighting high ceilings and gleaming wood floor. The first floor offers a welcoming living room with a cozy gas fireplace, a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen overlooking the deck and spacious yard and gardens, PLUS a comfortable family room adjacent to the kitchen. Upstairs, you’ll find a serene primary suite, convenient laundry, and three additional bedrooms. A walk-up attic provides extra storage, while the partially finished basement includes a workroom and plenty of storage space. Outside, a storage shed adds even more functionality. De-leaded house. All this, just minutes from the train and everything Wellesley has to offer.— Compass
