There are 3 bedrooms plus a home office, a screen porch, working pocket doors, a gas fireplace, lovely windows, updated systems & a young roof. The landscaped exterior offers a stunningly tranquil oasis w/ a large private blue stone terrace which backs into a unique puddingstone outcropping featuring a softly murmuring fountain. This combination of features, functionality & beauty rarely comes on the market. Peter Parley Road is one of the loveliest streets in JP, steps from Franklin Park, the Neighborhood School, and a short walk to Green St. T and shops.
