    What's special

    Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of Main St, this charming single family holds the antique whimsy of its time, with many of the modern upgrades and amenities of today. It's ideally situated, close to 93, Assembly Sq, Orange Line, and nearby to Whole Foods and restaurants like Monument and Waverly. Come inside to flexible open spaces and thoughtfully designed upgrades, inside and out. The gut renovated kitchen now holds Brazilan White Pearl Quartzite countertops, custom Hickory cabinetry, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and a bump out with floor to ceiling windows that accommodates a kitchen table. French doors in the living area gaze out to a private patio, which wraps around the side of the house. The second floor boasts open and expansive flexible space, with a separate nook if an office is needed. A full bath and laundry reside on this level. The top floor has two bedrooms and a fully renovated jack and jill bathroom. 3 ductless mini splits for AC, ample basement storage.
