109 Pine Grove, Summerville, Dorchester

Go unnoticed in the best way possible. Off the beaten path, but in the middle of it all - your own quiet bubble at the edge of Summerville's Historic District. Tucked onto 8/10 of inviting green acreage, 109 Pine Grove avenue lets you slip back into a time when the pace was slower and neighborhood density was lower. The traditional two story plan sits well off the avenue, behind a leafy wall of azalea. The design is nearly unique for the district in that there are no steps to ascend to the entry, and the primary bedroom is downstairs. Quaint and traditional floor plan with lots of spaces to explore. Original wood (cedar? pine?) plank paneling in the family room and adjacent den adds to the bygone lure. The primary suite is behind the den for maximum privacy and enjoys views of the expansive back yard. (Lots of light spilling through updated windows throughout the home) The right half of the downstairs holds the renovated kitchen (granite, stainless, gas. AMPLE counters and cabinets) that balances modern convenience with an old-school family banquette, purpose built to the space and with loads of storage beneath. Cozy breakfast, lazy lunch, intimate supper, all in one spot. The kitchen flows past a powder room and a laundry/pantry space (more storage!) to a flex room (formerly formal dining, currently an office, future use? - tbd by you) that takes you to the patio beyond. Spacious, bright, comfy, secondary bedrooms are both upstairs. As charming as the house is, the real star of this show may be the lot itself, which is a gardeners delight, including a dedicated green house ready to start seeds and nurture sprouts that will only add to the show that already includes plenty of green grass, azaleas, oak, pine and palmetto. The back yard is an entertainment oasis. Huge, awning-covered griller's patio behind custom blue heron gates invites many a summer supper that stretches from afternoon to dusk. For parking, and for larger gatherings, the custom car port will be the go-to, complete with lighting, fans, and prewired for speakers. Add the sound, and a large-screen tv, and you'll be the envy of football season. This property is nearly perfect as it is, and move-in ready. But historic district zoning allows for accessory dwelling units. If you've been dreaming of a family compound. The lot is perfect for one. Or a pool. Or chickens for fresh eggs, maybe. So many possibilities. Do almost anything you like (no HOA), and do it in near complete privacy. Live your best life here, unnoticed by almost everyone.
