A vintage gem shines in Dot
Nestled among Melville Park’s colorful, exuberant Victorians, 12 Centervale Park stands out as a lovingly preserved American Foursquare home.
Optimally located between the Shawmut and Fields Corner T stations in Dorchester, this vintage gem makes for gracious city living. It’s inviting, warm and brimming with character from top to bottom.
Literally.
The top floor contains a private primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a skylight and lavish modern bath, while the lower level adds an incredible eight-person cedar sauna.
In between, house hunters will find an intricately detailed family home with an ideal mix of open and private spaces. Enjoying the hallmark of the foursquare home, 12 Centervale Park boasts a large, enclosed south-facing porch overlooking one of Dorchester’s most picturesque streetscapes. Inside, a living room replete with preserved historical details includes a mirrored fireplace with an ornate mantle. In the octagonal dining

room, sconces and picture rails complement the refined moulding.
Custom cabinetry, a center island and high-end upgrades to the kitchen make for a modern space that complements the home’s historic aesthetic without sacrificing function.
Growing families will appreciate four bedrooms on the home’s second level — a nice perk for having close to 2,500 square feet of interior space. Bonus: an oversized second-floor porch for even more outdoor living opportunities.
Landscaped gardens and a sunny stone patio in the just-right backyard are just waiting for summer gatherings and easy weekend mornings.
Open house hours are 4:30 to 6 p.m. today, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 1 p.m. Sunday.
