Some are too big, some are too small, some are too expensive & some are too old? Well, if Goldilocks were to stumble upon 8 Chetwynd Rd - a little cottage in the urban woods - she would definitely say it was Just Right! Passing through the purple front door you find yourself in a warm & welcoming home with a pretty wooded lot. The cozy family room off the renovated kitchen has a wood burning stove & doors onto a deck overlooking the yard & garden. Raymond Park abuts the house on the north east side & fills it with the sound of kids & dogs playing. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and an updated bathroom. The finished lower level has a 3rd bedroom & bathroom, a laundry room & storage. Sitting amongst the trees enjoying time with friends, you would never know you were only moments away from Porter Sq, Harvard Sq. and Rte 2. A little cottage in the urban woods, maybe 8 Chetwynd will be JUST RIGHT for you!
