Once you experience the suburban, almost “country” setting near the summit of Fairmount Hill, you’ll have a hard time believing you’re standing in New England’s largest, most dynamic, and most exciting city. And this captivating, charming, and well maintained home in move-in condition has so much to offer: a 2014 updated and upgraded cherry, granite, and stainless kitchen; a luxuriously sized deck for entertaining; ample workout/playroom space in the basement; and more. Easy access to running/biking trails, multiple dining choices, retail centers, and many convenient options for commuting to Boston and to Cambridge, including a short, 6-tenth-mile, downhill walk to the Fairmount Commuter Rail stop. The deck and beautiful yard afford the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without leaving home. There is so much to love about making this house your home!
