Built in 1892, the home features soaring ceilings, exquisite quarter oak and maple wooden floors, and an inviting layout that begins with a gracious foyer. The oversized, fireplaced, bay-windowed living room and formal dining room are ideal for entertaining, while the large eat-in kitchen offers space and potential. Front and back stairways lead to 6 bedrooms or a combination of bedrooms, family and office space. A welcoming wrap-around front porch, and a peaceful back garden showcase both mature trees and shrubs and newer native and perennial plantings for year around color. Just minutes from the Boston Marathon route, beloved parks, and renowned restaurants, this property offers both charm and convenience. While move-in ready, it also provides opportunities for your own vision to update-an exciting opportunity.
