Upstairs, the master bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a ribbon of casement windows, and open closets. It shares a bath with a smaller second bedroom.

PROS This 1929 Colonial is on a dead-end street near Wollaston Beach and the Red Line. French doors in the entry hall open to a living room with a fireplace and sunroom at right, and to a dining room with a built-in hutch at left. The kitchen is newly remodeled with dramatic gray granite counters and stainless appliances. The back door leads out to a large yard and two-car garage. There’s a full bath on the second floor, and walk-through closets create a circular flow between the four bedrooms — one of which has access to a private roof deck. The basement has laundry hookups and a half bath, while a walk-up attic offers expansion potential. CONS Some dated fixtures and finishes.
