About this home

Set on one of Kenilworth Gardens' most desirable streets, this charming center-entry brick Colonial offers warmth, space, and an unbeatable location. The welcoming living room features a fireplace with marble surround, while the sunny dining room overlooks the yard and deep lot with room for expansion. A first-floor office adds flexibility, and hardwood floors throughout, along with high-end curtains, bring style and continuity to the home. The DeGiulio kitchen is well appointed with a Viking oven, Bosch dishwasher, two wall ovens, and a breakfast nook. The spacious primary bedroom includes a full bath, and a cedar closet in the hallway adds a special touch. The basement, fully rehabbed in 2021, provides exceptional additional living space with a fireplace, kitchenette with wine cooler, abundant storage, and two washers and two dryers. Complete with a sprinkler system, 2-car garage, and walk-to-train convenience, this property is being sold as is.
