Sited on over 2/3 an acre, view the Boston skyline from this 1883 Gambrel Revival. From the natural light pouring through the windows to the two wood-burning fireplaces to the period details, there is a warmth that envelopes you. Primary bedroom suite with 3 double closets! Nearby the Fells walking trails. This 11 rm home offers flexibility for bedrooms, home offices, and speciality areas, plus 3.5 baths.
