A quiet, leafy cul-de-sac between the Arboretum and Roslindale Village is a dream location for many reasons — among them, the rustic stone wall passage into Arnold Arboretum at the end of the block. Inside this upper duplex, the work of an owner who is a finish carpenter shows everywhere. Original gumwood colonnade with tapered entasis columns and glass-front shelving at the base; built-in china cabinet; full wood wainscoting; pinwheel-pattern porcelain tile and and subway-tiled bath kept in great condition. Pass-through pantry, formal dining, sun room ringed by 7 windows, and a kitchen with original shaker cabinets paired with custom matching cabinetry built by the owner. Upstairs, a fully finished suite with milled-and-reinstalled red pine floors, full bath, soapstone counter with sink and storage, and laundry — flexible as a primary retreat or in-law apartment. Oversized deck off the kitchen, garage and second exclusive-use spot, easy street pkg. Truly a dream location.
