Set along Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, this stately center-entrance Colonial sits on the historic Arborway carriage road, framed by lush front gardens and a distinguished bow-front portico. Inside, timeless elegance meets thoughtful updates, with classic details and quality finishes throughout. The entry vestibule & foyer welcome, leading to generous living and dining rooms, and a private study. The stunning chef’s kitchen, in cherry, granite and stainless, opens to a serene patio bordered by a stone wall and garden, with easy access to a 2-car garage. Upstairs offers 5 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a charming spacious top-floor primary suite with skylit bath and walk-in closet. The finished lower level features an outfitted workshop with kitchenette, an oversized family room, and a smartly appointed bath. Moments from Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum, and JP’s shops & restaurants — this is a rare opportunity to own a premier home in this treasured neighborhood.
