Our Take
251 Weed Street is a renovated and expanded modern colonial with an open, naturally lit layout. The home centers on a new kitchen with exposed beams, high-end appliances, a large island, wine fridge, and oversized pantry. A brick-floored sitting room with skylights adds a separate gathering space, while the first-floor primary suite includes a spa-like bathroom and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms, a bright lower-level office and playroom/gym, and an expansive deck overlooking a private yard round out the property.
