Nestled in the sought-after Islington Peninsula neighborhood, you will love this 4br home. After a gut reno in 2008, it boasts a low-maintenance exterior and a thoughtfully designed interior with warm, versatile spaces. The eat-in kitchen features a partially vaulted ceiling, double oven, ample storage, and a spacious island. The rare, large dining room with spacious storage provides a welcoming space for gatherings opening to the large family room. The mudroom has a cozy window seat and great storage. The very large primary suite impresses with soaring ceiling and two walk-in California closets. The finished basement offers a playroom, exercise room, and workshop. Outdoor living includes a spacious patio, complete with firepit on a level lot. The garage has direct entry and GarageTek storage system. Located near Burr Elementary, this home is part of a vibrant community known for its “Oval”, Norumbega Park, and fun, coordinated neighborhood holiday lighting. Solar installed in 2018.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
