This 1910 Mediterranean-style beige stucco house in West Roxbury has lots of original woodwork and a large, nicely landscaped yard on a corner lot.
The current owners of 251 West Roxbury Parkway have replaced the home's windows, its terra cotta tile roof and copper gutters, as well as rewired the house since buying it in 2003.
The home's entry foyer has a crystal chandelier, built-in wooden seats on either side, a decorative brick fireplace and a dark wood bridal staircase. A large, sunny living room to the left has nine windows, and a bright formal dining room to the right has six windows and a chandelier. Both rooms have restored hardwood floors, and dark-stained paneled wainscoting, crown molding, baseboards and window moldings.
The kitchen was rehabbed about 10 years ago with antique white cabinets, light granite counters and high-end Fisher Paykel and Sub-Zero appliances.
The showpiece bridal staircase, with a center stained-glass window and side-paneled wainscoting, leads up to three second-floor bedrooms with hardwood floors. At the top of the landing is a built-in linen closet and a stairway up to a large storage attic.
The master bedroom has a chandelier, two closets, and an en-suite bathroom redone in 2003 that features Carrara marble floors and a marble-lined walk-in shower.
There are two other bedrooms, one larger and one nursery-sized, and a full bathroom with tile floors and white subway tile that has not been renovated.
The home's basement — which adds an additional 800 square feet of living space — has just been refinished, and features a carpeted living room with two closets, a carpeted bedroom and a new full bathroom with a white tile floor and Fiberglas shower. There's also a laundry room with a Maytag washer and dryer, and the gas-fired boiler was replaced last year. There is no central air conditioning.
The 15,425-square-foot lot includes lots of large trees, grass and shrubs, as well as a perennial garden, a fountain, a flagstone patio with a trellis and an irrigation system. In one corner of the back yard is a storage shed and the other has a two-car garage.
