Once-in-a-lifetime home, this rare refuge hosts a beautifully expanded Colonial across from Jamaica Pond along the lush parkland of Olmsted's Emerald Necklace. Revel in views of this urban wild from the generous front sitting porch and many of the thoughtfully-designed rooms. The main level features a great room with large cook’s kitchen, dining area & sunken sitting area, plus formal dining room and a front-to-back fireplaced living room. Through French doors, relax and dine on the rear stone patio or deck and unwind in the private hot tub. Sleeping quarters above comprise 4 bedrooms, a study and 3 full baths. Cross the whimsical bridge to the capacious primary suite with distinctive cathedral ceiling with cupola, en-suite bath, walk-in closets, custom stained glass and more pond views. The lower level provides a spacious rec room for any variety of activities – exercise, crafts or study. With direct-entry 2-car garage. A dream home, with downtown Boston just a quick ride away.
