4 Fletcher St #1, Roslindale, MA 02131

This is a Craftsman-style solidly built home. My home inspector said, "This foundation will be here for 1000 years." while commenting that they just don't make houses this solid anymore. It has a renovated (2003) kitchen and bath, and lots of beautiful old wood - doors, window trim, and floorboards. Surrounded on two sides with a sloping perennial garden, there are two floors - each floor is a condo unit. Each unit has a deeded spot in the detached garage, an additional parking spot in the driveway, and shares the yard and basement. Laundry and storage are in the basement. Neighborhood Description This neighborhood is a classic urban neighborhood that influences today's "New Urbanism" plans in that almost everything is a short walk away and there is a sense of community. There is a park with sport courts across the street; the Arnold Arboreteum is a 10 min walk away; public transportation to downtown Boston is a 5 minute walk - commuter rail or buses; and village shopping & bistros are a 5 min walk. Some of the stores in the village include a grocery, a cheese shop, wine shop, florists, book store, gift stores, liquors, meat market, pharmacy, and bakeries. There is also a post office and banks. The homes have small yards and are set away from the village to keep it fairly quiet; there is very low crime; and there is plenty of on-street parking for visitors.
