A breath of fresh air! This light & bright center entrance Colonial combines the details of yesterday with the updates of today. Built in 1945 by Thomas McGreevy with steel I-beam construction, the home features crown molding, trimmed archways, and hardwood floors throughout. This provides a beautiful backdrop for the sparkling modern kitchen with its stainless-steel appliances, stone countertops, LED lighting, and recessed Bluetooth speaker. An elegant dining room, spacious living room, half bath, and 3-season sunroom complete the main level. Upstairs, find a front-to-back primary bedroom with walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and walk-up attic. The backyard features mature plantings encircling a ginkgo tree that gets brilliant yellow leaves. Many updates including 2022 central AC, 2022 hot water tank, windows were replaced in 2018-2019 (except basement), and roof is approximately 10 years old. One-car garage and a fantastic West Roxbury location on Bellevue Hill!
