Blocks to Peters Hill in the Arnold Arboretum, a wraparound porch and vintage French door invite you to this 3-bed, 1.5-bath pretty picture. Its mid-century modern-inspired kitchen with dining counter boasts clean-line cabinetry with a built-in refrigerator––part of a Bosch appliance suite that includes a gas cooktop and wall oven. The dining room features sleek built-in cabinets and a recessed art wall; the living room, an ornamental fireplace. The kitchen faces glass doors to a discreet deck with a handcrafted Maine Cedar hot tub. With wide-plank floors, the second level hosts three bedrooms. The full bath features a honed-Vermont Slate double sink and slate floors, rubbed-brass exposed piping and fixtures, and a towel warmer. Newer roof, windows and high-efficiency boiler-hot water system. The fenced yard nestles a patio, quince and crabapple trees and copious perennials.

Half mile to Roslindale Village shops; the farmers market in Adams Park; and the commuter rail to Ruggles, Back Bay, South Station.
