About this home

Renovated with such amazing design and ingenuity, it was showcased in Boston Magazine. As you enter the home, you are greeted by high archways, period millwork and built-ins. There is a living room with custom mantel and graceful bow windows, dining room with colorful stained glass, music room and butler's pantry with glass front cabinets and un-lacquered brass counters and backsplash. The eat-in chef's kitchen (SubZero, Wolf, Miele) with large island and wall of Hope’s steel windows is open to a generous family room. The grounds are handsomely landscaped with a patio and exterior lighting. Upstairs, the regal master suite has a dressing area and state of the art marble bath with a floating double vanity and radiant heat. The 2nd floor is completed by an office and an additional bedroom and bath, with 2 remaining bedrooms and study spaces on the 3rd floor with a full bath. Parking for 2 cars plus an electric car charging station. Only minutes to Harvard Square.
