Our Take
652 Weed Street is a four-bedroom historic Colonial on a park-like acre, with formal rooms, an updated kitchen, and a family room addition with a fireplace and French doors to a terrace. The residence was reimagined in 2015 while preserving its historic character. Mature gardens, stonework, and an outdoor fireplace shape the terrace setting. A guest cottage and pool house provide a full bath and HVAC, while a newly added pool cabana extends the outdoor living areas.
