Boston-area homebuyers looking to put down their first roots or those looking to downsize are going to swoon over the cute condo at 25 Dunster Road Unit 1.

With a coveted pondside address, the home’s location is a foodie paradise and nature lover’s dream — Centre Street eateries, Jamaica Pond, and the Arnold Arboretum are all moments away.

Newly renovated with an updated kitchen and bathroom, the condo is sunny and modern. Luckily, there’s quite a bit of old world charm that’s been preserved — a dramatic period foyer with an ornate fireplace and mirrored mantle, pocket doors, and the beloved built-in corner hutch in the dining area.

Bay windows in the open-concept living and dining room brighten up the space all the way to the stainless steel kitchen with its gleaming white Shaker style cabinets.

In addition to three comfortable bedrooms, that condo boasts a den tucked behind pocket doors, yours to turn into a family room or home office. There’s outdoor space, too – a large front porch and a rear porch that overlooks a shared backyard.

Open house hours are Saturday, Aug. 5, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 6, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

On the market for $849,000, the sale of the home is represented by Martin Laird with Coldwell Banker, 617-827-7009.
