This large-scale Shingle Style five-bedroom house, located at the crest of "Carruth's Hill", was designed by talented architect Edwin J. Lewis, a Dorchester native whose fine residential work graces much of the Ashmont neighborhood-one of Boston's best-preserved enclaves of Victorian homes. Built in 1889, this grand home features characteristics of Lewis' best work in this style. Charm abounds in details on three fireplace mantles, pocket doors & half-moon seating area off the dining room. Many sensitive updates as part of recent, high-end renovation include a cook's kitchen, 2.5 designer baths & butler's pantry with wet bar-resulting in a warm and inviting atmosphere that combines quality and craftsmanship of the 19th century with the comforts of the 21st century. Updates include new high efficiency heating & cooling system, new slate roof and blown-in insulation. Anchored by a large front lawn, beautifully landscaped & fenced-in rear yard, 2-car garage & private drive.
