Milton single-family great for getting away from it all at home

Summer 2020 might be remembered as the summer of the backyard as more Bay Staters are choosing to stay closer to home.

With 36 Warren Avenue in Milton, a delightful single-family Colonial, you don’t have to travel very far to venture out into nature. Boasting an enviable, emerald green yard and easy access to Blue Hills Reservation, Turner’s Pond, and only a short walk from Popes Pond, the home is a nature lover’s paradise that’s only a trolley ride from Boston.

The 1915 home strikes the perfect balance between the warmth of its period details and a few modern updates. Between the familiar built-in hutch and cabinet that extends to the ceiling in the dining room and the handsome wood-burning fireplace in the cozy living room is a striking updated kitchen designed for a baker-chef. Storage space and elbow room abound in this sunny spot, with a window above the kitchen sink that overlooks a pair of oak trees.

With four just-right bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor, there’s plenty of flexibility for a growing family, guests, or a home office. Even the basement has a little sanctuary to offer, with a clawfoot soaking tub “spa.”

But getting back to that backyard summer. The home’s new residents will enjoy a canopy of trees: oak, pine, dogwood, and ornamental plum and apple trees across its 9,000 square-foot lot. It’s a serene escape for the amateur gardener, bird watcher, or grill master.

The sale of the home, on the market for $650,000, is represented by Melony Swasey with Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-971-7080.
