Mt. Tabor may be an extinct volcano, but there’s no end to the excitement that erupts when a classic, updated house comes on the market in the sweet spot of the neighborhood . . . easily accessible to urban amenities on Stark and Belmont, and still just a quick jaunt to the park itself. Nature-lovers will appreciate the environmentally sensitive updates that have pushed this 1948 home to register a Home Energy Score of 7: R-49 attic insulation, rockwool basement insulation, three-zone heat pump, a heat pump water heater, and replacement of select windows. There’s also earthquake bolting, and a rebuild of the upstairs balcony, so you can comfortably enjoy the city and territorial seasonal views. A bright, expansive chef’s kitchen, sleek hardwood floors, clever built-ins, lots of closet space . . . and an incredibly rare main level primary suite with its own entrance offer you so many options for home office, family gatherings, guest space, or even an Air BnB suite. There’s also an oversized double garage with storage and workshop, ready for your pet projects and gardening supplies while still giving plenty of room to park. With a Bikescore of 97 and Walkscore of 78, everything you want is convenient, from Tabor Bread to Tabor Reservoir. Don’t miss this special home! [Home Energy Score = 7.
