Rozzie reno packs in value
The Boston-area real estate market is a competitive sport this year and a spiffed-up single-family in Roslindale with outdoor space and parking under a million is a coveted prize.
With 62 Durnell Ave. in Roslindale, buyers will find a traditional early 1900s footprint that underwent a thorough, to-the-studs renovation. The four-bedroom home — with tons of flexible space for entertaining, work and play — is on the market for $955,000. Shopping, dining and train stops are all nearby, too.
A friendly, decidedly residential street that’s still close to the city is also a hot commodity these days for buyers who don’t want to escape to the suburbs but crave the space to stretch out. With four floors and a contemporary layout, 62 Durnell Ave. sure fits the bill. On the main level, an open layout combines living, dining and kitchen, with a striking double-sided fireplace in the middle. It’s the best of both worlds: a pleasant flow for hosting get-togethers with just enough separation to keep things warm and cozy. Windows line the main living area and end with sliders to the back deck overlooking the yard. Decked out with the latest smart home appliances, the kitchen is stylish, with custom cabinetry and a breakfast bar.
The second floor houses the primary suite with its own private balcony, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with a sumptuous walk-in shower, as well as two additional bedrooms and full bath. On the third floor, tall vaulted ceilings tower over a large bonus room that can be used as a media room, family room, or home office. The finished lower level offers up even more space, with two rooms to accommodate working (or working out!) from home.
A flat, fenced yard is landscaped and ready for warmer weather with tons of space to host cookouts, roast S’mores, and play fetch with the family pup.
Open house hours are 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. today and Sunday. For more information about the home, contact Lisa Berger with Compass, 617-388-5751.
