This award winning home has been featured in multiple publications for both it's interior elegance and exterior splendor. Built in 1880 this home has all of the modern amenities and is ideal for entertaining and everyday family living. A gracious foyer leads to both a living room and fabulous family room with built-ins. The open kitchen with eat-in breakfast area is bright and welcoming. It flows seamlessly to a formal dining room with French doors to a large porch. The porch feels more like a cosy family room than an outdoor space. A primary en-suite bedroom plus 3 additional bedrooms and full bath complete the second level. The 3rd floor with cathedral ceiling includes a game room, kitchenette, a generous bedroom plus a full bath. The lower level includes a playroom, half bath and office. Minutes to Boston, shops at The Street and The Pike.
