Grand open layout offers big windows, cathedral ceilings, architecturally intricate wall cut-outs, custom features, European fixtures & appliances. Second floor master suite is a private retreat with a big walk-in closet and a spa-like master bath. In addition, there are two other bedrooms on the main level, one of which has cathedral ceilings with sky-lights and an an-suite bath, which may be used as a second master suite. Legally considered a townhouse, it is barely attached the the other home and has separate systems, meters, including separate home insurance. Beautifully landscaped private yard features a blue stone patio, stone wall, and a vast level yard. Located on a side street in Waban, this one is really special!
