IT’S TOPS ON HUB’S HIGH POINT
West Roxbury’s Bellevue Hill is rarified air. Not only is it the highest point in Boston, it’s also a sought-after neighborhood, beloved for its character.
Part of this tight-knit community since 1930, the gambrel roofed single-family at 223 Wren St. has undergone a thorough gut renovation over the course of a year, landing on the red-hot Boston real estate market at $1,498,00 0.
When a home has great bones — and 223 Wren St. certainly does — there’s a lot of fun to be had with the details. This is where the four-bedroom, 2,500-plus-square-foot home shines with everything a modern family would appreciate without skimping on high-end finishes that just make you go, “Oh, that’s pretty.”
An open, contemporary floor plan on the main level includes a living room with sleek built-ins and a gas fireplace, a designer kitchen with quartz countertops and backsplash, an oversized island, stunning Bertazzoni appliances, a welcoming dining area, and access to a sunny deck. A smart mudroom with tons of cubbies and storage sits directly across — a perennial Herald favorite feature and always a good sign that a home was designed with real life in mind.
With this much square footage, 223 Wren St.’s bedrooms offer up plenty of space. The primary suite enjoys 10-foot ceilings, a wall of windows, custom walk-in closet and an ensuite bath that belongs in a luxury resort. Three additional bedrooms share a bath on this floor, as well as the home’s other smart detail: a second-floor laundry room. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re carting hampers up two floors from a basement, that struggle is over.
A two-car garage with direct access (to the mudroom!) and off-street parking are yours, too, with a brand-new paved driveway to be added soon.
Open house hours are from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday. The sale of the home is represented by David Burd with Jack Conway & Company, 617-413-9357.
