Built in 1880, this three-story Colonial has been completely refreshed and now has an open floor plan and a first-floor master bedroom.

The kitchen has a granite island, a large eating area, dark maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a sink with a bank of three large windows above it. On one side of the kitchen there is a bath with shower, and on the other, the master bedroom with double closets.

The dining room has built-in cabinets and bookshelves, wainscoting, and a central chandelier. The very large living room has a fireplace with richly detailed mantel, recessed lighting, and support columns masked by decorative wooden boxes. Flooring throughout is red oak.

The three bedrooms on the second floor are all good size and let in lots of natural light. The tiled bath has a soaking tub; built-in cabinets are in the hallway. The attic has been renovated into a spacious office/family room with textured walls and carpeted floor. A basement in-law unit with its own entrance has white cabinets topped by blue counters, a bathtub with a shower, and shiny refurbished pine floors.

The lot is fenced, has a large driveway, and a two-bay garage with storage. The house is set well back on a half-acre lot, which reduces road noise as do the insulated windows.

Listing broker Michael Garrity of Garrity Real Estate in South Boston is holding an open house today from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
