An exquisite home, beautifully sited on more than half an acre in the heart of the highly desirable Columbines and surrounded by soaring, 100-year-old oaks and pines, is truly a one-of-kind discovery. A 5-plus, bedroom home, built in 1903 during the Victorian era, features a Colonial-like floor plan, large, well-proportioned rooms with detailed hardwood mouldings, 3 fireplaces and a 9’ x 23,’ entry foyer where the grand staircase appears to pour in from the floor above. You’ll enjoy 3, full floors of living space, with 3 full and 1-half bathrooms. Behind the house, an enclosed sunroom captures the spirit-lifting, southern exposure throughout the year. A well-appointed, slightly dated, gourmet kitchen features a wood-burning stove that warms the heart, soul and the coldest feet through the chill of winter. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths are found on the second floor. A back hallway connects 2 of the bedrooms and a bathroom, creating a perfect and separate au pair, in-law or in-home office suite arrangement – with the larger of the two rooms featuring a fireplace. The third floor’s oversized master suite with gabled ceilings and dormers, creates a cozy, tree-top hideaway. There is also a bathroom and additional room for use as a closet, office or 6th bedroom. You’ll experience incredible, restful sleep from the quiet, summer breezes and perhaps, find yourself awakened each morning by the melodic singing of multiple bird species attracted to the area. A rare moment to own a dream in the Columbines awaits you. • Total sq ft: 3,165 • 2 car, unattached garage with large storage loft • 2007 taxes: $8,125 • Washer-Dryer: 2nd floor - Gas • Unfinished basement • Gas fired boiler – forced hot water heating system • Extras: Tree-house, 2-level playroom in bedroom closet Neighborhood Description Milton and the Columbines Milton, Massachusetts, located just 8 miles south of downtown Boston and walking distance to the Red Line T-stop (from the house), was recently selected by Money Magazine as the 7th-best place to live in the U.S. Notable attributes in the selection process includes its proximity to Blue Hills reservation, (a 7,000-acre park with hiking trails, swimming and skiing), close access to Boston, a diverse population and recent renovation of the library, as well as every public school building over the past 7 years.

Milton is just 3 miles from the commuter rail station in Hyde Park, offering express stops to Back Bay and downtown Boston. It is also in close proximity to South Shore Mall and the Amtrak rail station leading to New York City and Washington D.C. The Columbines, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Milton, is routinely featured in Boston Magazine’s annual, “Best Places to Live” issue throughout suburbia Boston. Its gentle-curving streets are surrounded by diverse, residential architecture, appointed with multi-species, old-growth trees and landscaping, creating a walker’s paradise for families and dog owners alike. One of the most amazing aspects of the property’s location is the quiet and peacefulness it provides. In summertime, it’s mostly birds singing and the shrills of kids playing in the neighborhood. the Governor and a state senator live just down the street. And last Halloween brought over 400 trick-or-treaters to the door. There is no other place quite like it in town.
