This Bellevue Hill beauty is where classic charm meets modern flair! A proud McGreevy-built brick Colonial, it welcomes you with rich hardwood floors, a sunny front-to-back living room, a sleek quartz fireplace, and a dining room perfect for dinner parties. The expanded kitchen features quartz and granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island built for gathering. A stylish half bath with Venetian plaster and heated floors, plus a mudroom with custom built-ins and central air, round out the main level. Upstairs, unwind in the spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, relax in a spa-like bath with heated marble floors, towel warmer, and defogging mirrors, and enjoy two more bedrooms and a walk-up attic. The finished lower level is ready for movie nights, workouts, or guests. Outside, enjoy lush gardens, new patio, blue stone front and back walkways, a brand new relaxing hot tub, and an updated garage all in one of West Roxbury’s most coveted spots.
