Greater Boston’s recent string of picture-perfect sunny days has us in a full summer mode and frankly, the only way to honor this feeling is to fire up some kind of grill and lounge by the body of water of your choice.

But if you also happen to be house-hunting, we’ve spied the perfect warm weather home at 127 Oak Street in Dedham.

Find yourself on this quiet, family-friendly street in sought-after East Dedham and you’ll happen across this bright and welcoming three-bedroom Colonial that blends comfort, flexibility, and fun. Set on a generous corner lot, the fenced yard is an unexpected private oasis — boasting a sparkling in-ground pool, room for a future fire pit, and space for garden beds if that’s your thing. Plus, there’s plenty of room for hosting splashy gatherings.

Step inside to find an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and crisp white cabinetry. A vaulted ceiling and skylight fill the space with natural light, making it a cheerful hub of the home. Off the kitchen, a versatile bonus room — perfect as a playroom, office, or den — opens through French doors to a large deck ready for alfresco dining and lazy afternoons. A formal dining room and living room offer additional spaces to relax, and the spacious primary suite with its own bath completes the first floor.

Upstairs, two roomy bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible space for family or guests. The finished basement adds a room for a home office, gym, or play space, plus a large utility room with washer and dryer. A detached one-car garage even includes a pool changing area for convenience.

The sale of the property, on the market for $695,000, is represented by Martin Laird with Coldwell Banker Realty — Brookline, 617-827-7009.
