Stoneham brick Colonial offers space and yard a half-hour from Boston

The brick Colonial at 41 Tamarock Terrace in Stoneham is—theoretically at least—a half-hour drive north of Boston proper.

The eight-room, 29-year-old house on a hill runs to just over 3,000 square feet and includes a sizable yard with a covered deck and a patio—and all for $869,900, a veritable steal by the standards of its larger neighbor to the south.

There is also room for a library and up to four bedrooms. Prestige Real Estate has the listing, which has been up for about a month.
