Inviting, east-facing colonial in prime locale on pretty tree-lined street, close to the T & commuter rail, schools, Cushing Sq & Payson Park. A covered farmer's porch welcomes you inside where period details abound: large rooms, high ceilings, crown molding & gorgeous maple floors. Fresh neutral paint enhances abundant natural light, creating a feeling of warmth throughout. A gracious entry opens to a large sunny living room which flows to an over-sized dining room, perfect for larger gatherings. The gas kitchen, ready for a modern touch, features ample cabinets, pantry, & convenient half bath. A handsome side staircase brings you up to a tiled bath and 3 generous, corner bedrooms including a spacious master. A smaller, 4th bedroom is desirable "work from home" space while the level yard with beautiful fruit trees provides a welcome outdoor escape. Cosmetic updates to kitchen & baths plus expansion potential with the walk-up attic, could make this your forever home. By appt July 17-20
