Completely unexpected! This charming Mansard-style single family, tucked back off of Tremont Street, is a joyful surprise. The bright blue exterior & gardens, lovingly redone by the current owners, give the home an almost storybook feel and create a sweet oasis in the heart of Inman Square. Inside, the house is just as cheerful, with high ceilings, wonderful natural light, loads of character and a flexible 2/3 bedroom layout that feels both comfortable and full of possibility. The current owners have made thoughtful improvements, adding significantly to both its livability & move-in readiness. The kitchen was reconfigured & upgraded with all new appliances, a second-floor laundry room was created and a brand-new washer & dryer installed, the entire interior was repainted & new blinds were installed. Behind the scenes, equally important improvements include a new French drain, sump pump, dry well, radon mitigation system and new support beams in the basement. Finally, where what was once almost entirely asphalt has been replaced with a garden & green-paver driveway, completely changing the feel of the property. This is a truly special home, and just a 7-minute walk to the Union Square T stop!
