Tucked on a secluded closed-end street near Forest Hills T, this 4-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home offers three levels, including an unfinished walk-up attic with expansion potential, and a vast fenced backyard. Classic styling greets you in the living room with a gas fireplace and a bay window seat framed by built-in bookcases and vintage wall sconces. Off the living room, a south-facing sunroom can serve as a den, playroom or office. Elegant columns lead into the architect-designed open dining room and kitchen. Standout details of this refined space include signature navy blue custom cabinetry contrasted with white, with enclosed tall glass cabinetry in the dining room and open oak shelving on the kitchen side, all accented by bronze brackets and pulls. The kitchen, with tree-facing corner windows and a three-seat dining peninsula, features wrapping quartz counters and a Jenn-Air appliance suite with exhaust hood, pantry cabinet, and kickspace heating. Just off the kitchen, a hall with mudroom nook and a half bath lead to the front stairwell. The second level offers four corner bedrooms. The primary bedroom is 19 ft deep with ample space for a sitting area and oversize wardrobe in addition to the matching closets. The 12” x 12” second bedroom includes two side-by-side closets. Adjacent to the bathroom, a 90 sq ft bedroom. And a fourth room, at 110 sq ft, can serve as a bedroom––or as an office with a passthrough to the walk-up attic. Let this home evolve with you: on the second level, consider combining bedrooms 2 and 3 to create a bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and an additional full bathroom, plus a common hall with laundry. On the attic level––with an approximately 620 sq ft floor area and 8 ft height at the center––the potential may exist to create a generous bedroom suite by adding a shed dormer. (Neighboring homes have done so.) Back on the first level, a glass sliding door in the dining room opens onto a screened porch facing the gently terraced fenced backyard, which backs up to the wooded Forest Hills Preserve; enter directly from your rear gate. Greet next spring with the magnolia tree in the front yard, next to the raised garden bed. Surrounded by woods, quickly access trails in Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park and Forest Hills Cemetery. Yet just 0.3 mi to Forest Hills T Station, Southwest Corridor bike path to Back Bay, and Brassica Kitchen + Cafe.
