About this home

The opportunity to create something truly special in a premier West Roxbury setting. Behind the classic curb appeal of this longtime family home is an abundance of space, character and flexibility waiting to be reimagined. High ceilings, hardwood floors, period details and a fireplace provide the foundation, while the existing layout offers tremendous versatility for a buyer looking to create a substantial single-family home tailored to today's lifestyle. This is not a cookie-cutter renovation-the scale and configuration invite creativity, with room to rethink how the spaces connect and function while preserving the character that makes the home special. Outside, the property delivers another rarity for the neighborhood: a two-car detached garage and exceptional off-street parking. Set on a beautiful residential street with easy access to Centre Street's shops, dining and neighborhood amenities, plus commuter rail. A home with history, great bones and the opportunity to make the next chapter entirely your own.

AI comment

This is a character-rich older home that appears best suited to a buyer comfortable with renovation and layout planning. The scale, room count, and flexible configuration create strong upside if the home is thoughtfully updated. Its period details and garage/parking situation are notable advantages for the area. However, the listing language clearly points to a project rather than a turnkey property, so inspection and renovation budgeting will be critical
