The farther out you get in Boston, the more you get housing-wise—at least a lot of the time.

Case in point: The 1,951-square-foot colonial at 29 Denton Terrace in bucolic Roslindale, one of the city’s southernmost neighborhoods. The house dating from 1920 includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a sunroom and a large patio out back. The house retains its original hardwood floors, and the kitchen cabinetry pops.

Even with all of this, 29 Denton is asking $649,000—or $332 a square foot—through Insight Realty’s Steven Musto. The median sales price for detached single-families in Boston in January was $655,000, and the average price per square foot was $413, according to the latest figures from the Greater Boston Association of Realtors.

So this one kind of falls right in the middle and along the mean. What’d you think?

A dining room in between other rooms, with a table and chairs and lots of natural light.
The house boasts eight rooms total.
A large kitchen with a U-shaped counter.
As noted, the cabinetry pops.
The edge of the kitchen, with another counter across from a table and two chairs, and leading to another room.
It’s an eat-in kitchen.
A bedroom with a bed, a peaked ceiling, and a radiator.
This is one of the four bedrooms.

There are two full bathrooms too.
A large brick patio with furniture in front of garage.
The house last traded in 2016 for $512,500.
