Nestled in the highly sought-after Bear Hill neighborhood, this cherished Colonial home has been thoughtfully maintained and lovingly cared for over 61 years of single ownership — and now, for the first time, it is ready for its next chapter. Arriving up the driveway, you are welcomed by a charming slate-covered porch that sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout. Upon entering, the slate flooring continues seamlessly into the foyer, offering a timeless and elegant first impression. The main level features a graciously sized living room with a fireplace that flows naturally into the dining area and an updated kitchen. Adjacent you will find a convenient laundry area and powder room. The inviting den offers beautiful built-ins and direct access to the two-car garage, as well as a brick patio overlooking a sprawling in-ground pool and lush yard — the perfect setting for warm weather entertaining. Up the stairwell, you are greeted by an updated main bathroom, two generously sized bedrooms, and a spacious primary suite complete with its own full bathroom. A truly special home in one of Stoneham's most desirable neighborhoods — opportunities like this do not come along often.
