On the western edge of the Fresh Pond Golf Course, and offering spectacular panoramic views, this gable-roofed residence is nicely set back from the street. It has a generous footprint offering the rare opportunity to live on just one or two levels in a single-family house. The first floor opens to an entry hall, and straight ahead, an expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an oversize east-facing window that frames the water view. The kitchen was designed for a professional baker,...On the western edge of the Fresh Pond Golf Course, and offering spectacular panoramic views, this gable-roofed residence is nicely set back from the street. It has a generous footprint offering the rare opportunity to live on just one or two levels in a single-family house. The first floor opens to an entry hall, and straight ahead, an expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an oversize east-facing window that frames the water view. The kitchen was designed for a professional baker, and it features a massive true commercial-grade 6-burner stove. The kitchen is open to a generous dining area with a wood-burning fireplace. A large corner library or entertainment room, two good-size bedrooms, and a full, tiled bath complete the first floor. At the second level, there are two ample bedrooms and another full bath. A/C. This property has a feeling of proximity to nature and open space, at the same time that it is an urban residence convenient to Huron Village and Harvard Sq.
