About This Property

**One-year lease ($150/month) of a reserved off-street parking spot nearby is transferable to the next owner.** A home like this doesn't come around often. From the moment you step inside the dramatic foyer, you'll know you're somewhere special. This expansive three-level Colonial Revival abounds with preserved original details -- pocket doors, wide plank floors, intricate millwork, and stained glass -- mixed with just the right amount of modern updates that allows for comfortable living. The main level serves as the perfect setting for holiday hosting and day-to-day life. A large foyer with gas fireplace doubles as a formal sitting room, and the sun-filled living room flows seamlessly into a stunning formal dining room for cozy family dinners. The kitchen is spacious and updated to modern standards while showcasing the ornate stained glass window and leaded glass doors that lead to a large pantry with a beverage cooler and convenient pass-through window to the dining room. Upstairs on the second floor you'll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a fabulous primary suite with a large walk-in closet/dressing room and spa-like bathroom with soaking tub. The top floor provides two more bedrooms and bonus attic space for potential future expansion. For even more space, head down to the basement to find tall ceilings and a great option for an exercise room or playroom, plus tons of room for storage. Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic side street, parking is a breeze. Numerous parks and playgrounds are a short stroll away, including neighborhood favorites Osgood Playground and Nunziato Field & Dog Park. Ideally located for walkability and easy public transit or bike commutes: a 1/2 mile from Gilman Square T stop and vibrant Union Square, and around a mile from Harvard campus and Porter Square T stop. This one-of-a-kind home is not to be missed!
