Updated Milton 3-bed a gem for families
Whatever you do, do not sleep on Milton. This Boston bedroom community retains the charm of smaller, slower times, while being just a hop and a T ride away from downtown.
The Realtor, who grew up in the town, couldn’t stop gushing about the singlefamily Colonial, just fresh on the market, and the surrounding friendly, community-minded neighborhood. And indeed, 28 Cheever St.’s interior is much like its Milton digs — homey, laid back and a great place to raise a family.
There’s lots to love inside the three-bedroom, 1,380square-foot home — but even more, interested buyers will love all the updates and corresponding big expenses they don’t have to worry about upon move-in. The home’s roof and siding are both brand new, windows have been recently replaced, updates were made to the gas and hot water systems, and the home’s deck and stone patio were both refinished. A generous driveway and garage are in great shape, too.
A cozy brick fireplace, tons of windows and sliders to the deck make the living room great for both unwinding and entertaining. Cross the hall and through French doors into the formal dining room, featuring period wainscoting — the home was built in 1920 — and there is an ornate built-in hutch with glass display and cabinet space. The kitchen offers endless upgrade opportunities. It’s large, sunny and has plenty of storage space. The first floor also offers a half-bath. Upstairs, the master bedroom is generous and bright, and two other bedrooms make space for a growing family.
Take playtime outside in warmer months and enjoy cookouts on the patio, a game of one-on-one basketball or street hockey in the driveway (it’s tucked in the rear of the home), or stroll to the Lower Neponset River Trail, a scenic 5-mile paved trail that goes into Dorchester.
Open house hours are noon-1:30 p.m. today and Sunday. The sale of the home, priced at $475,000, is being handled by Carolyn Cahill with Cahill Properties at William Raveis, at 781-801-4834.
