Colonial open to new family adventures
You’ll find a true labor of love in the 1941 garrison colonial single-family home at 400 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury.
The house hasn’t just been maintained by its current owners, it’s been updated, expanded and improved over and over to create a move-in ready family home in one of West Roxbury’s most desired neighborhoods. Sitting pretty between the treelined VFW Parkway and the quiet Hollywood Road, the home boasts too many improvements to name, and character galore.
A lovely foyer welcomes you home to a great flow on the first floor, opened up by the current owners to a mostly open-concept space, featuring a sunlit dining room — with oversized window — that opens to the kitchen and the cozy living room with a woodburning fireplace, ideal for chilly winter nights. A sunroom that doubles as a family room is extra spacious for relaxing, reading or use as a play area. The kitchen, remodeled in 2012 with new floors installed in 2017, is warm and inviting, with butcher-block countertops and hand-built, solid wood cabinets.
The home’s three bedrooms, all on the second floor, are spacious and feature a ton of storage space. In the extra-large master bedroom, you’ll find a walk-in closet and dressing area. The second floor shares the home’s one full bathroom. There is a halfbath on the first floor.
Outside, the fencedin backyard is shaded by mature trees and features a private outdoor patio, added by the current owners, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee and dining alfresco.
Bring your dog — or your running shoes — to nearby Allandale Woods or Hancock Woods, or head down to Hancock Village shops and restaurants. The home is optimally located to Longwood Medical Center, the Roslindale Farmers’ Market, the Arnold Arboretum, and so much more.
See it during an open house this weekend from noon to 2 p.m. both today and tomorrow.
