Description

Move right into this single-family JP ranch directly abutting the Arnold Arboretum & Urban Wild! It’s positioned on a private road with a tight-knit community feel yet sits just minutes from Forest Hills station for easy T & Commuter Rail access to downtown. A substantial 2020 renovation included the kitchen, bathrooms, new windows, Hardie board siding & many other thoughtful upgrades. Embrace the heated & insulated one-car garage plus a heated driveway, front walkway + steps—no snow shoveling required!! The main level offers two bedrooms and a full bath, while the expansive lower level adds a home office, family room, bonus room, and second full bath. Gas heat plus mini-split A/C systems, full insulation, and 200-amp upgraded electrical. Fenced-in backyard encompasses a stone patio overlooking mature trees of the beloved Arboretum.
