West Roxbury Home of the Week: 667 LaGrange St.

Beautiful colonial owned for generations by the same family.

This lovely colonial has been lovingly cared for from its creation and it definitely shows from the considerate care it has received over the years. Custom built by the current' owner's grandfather in 1929, its has sentimentally retained its charm and spirit yet been completely renovated to today's modern standards and preferences.

This home is set back on LaGrange St. in the convenient Parkway area with beautifully-manicured greenery and an extended driveway that handily reaches the two-car garage, rear door and private landscape shielded by mature trees. An enclosed three-season porch acts as a warm welcoming mat for guests and also provides an enchanting setting to enjoy the changing seasons.

The home boasts 8,500 square feet of living space and shows its character and vintage features gorgeously while vacant with gleaming hardwood floors throughout, natural woodwork, elevated ceilings and oversized rooms. These traits also make this a great home for entertaining. The fireplaced living and dining rooms offer effortless traffic flow and can easily accommodate larger crowds. French doors lead into a delightful sunroom that could also be utilized as a playroom, home office or den. The completely refurbished kitchen was vertically expanded with the removal of a drop ceiling and was enhanced with newer appliances and the addition of a half bath. These valuable improvements have completely opened up the kitchen which sweeps to a side rear deck.
