Turnkey single-family colonial on the historic West Roxbury Parkway, move-in ready with the major work already done. Bright, well-maintained 3-bed, 1.5-bath colonial with a renovated kitchen (2020), beautifully updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new rubber roof over the sunroom (2026), new hot water heater (2026), and a full deleading compliance certificate (2024). Gleaming hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and great natural light throughout. The living space extends seamlessly out back to an oversized entertainer's deck overlooking a level, private, beautifully maintained yard with established plantings and a custom-built storage shed (2020). Driveway parking for 3. Beyond listed square footage, an unfinished basement offers room for a gym, workshop, or future expansion, plus a walk-up attic with exceptional storage. Moments from Bellevue Commuter Rail Station, Centre, Street shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and Stony Brook Reservation, with easy access to Route 9 and I-95.
