Thoughtfully updated without the "flip" feel, this gorgeous 2-story home has the perfect blend of fun, modern updates without erasing the original charm. The private entryway has room to drop coats and shoes, and once inside the unit you'll notice the bright and airy feel of the space, with soaring ceilings and tons of natural light pouring through south-facing windows. The cozy living room flows nicely into a formal dining room and kitchen that you'll love cooking and entertaining in, with a vented range hood, attractive lighting, wine fridge, and direct access to a private deck. A sun-splashed playroom, full bath, and two bedrooms round out the main level. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with vaulted ceilings and skylights, as well as laundry and attic storage. The backyard is fully fenced and landscaped with mature perennials and garden beds, great for kids and pets. Two blocks from the 73 bus to Harvard Sq and one mile from Belmont Center.
