Step into history with this Queen Anne gem! This stately home in the Second Empire style features incredible millwork, 11’ ceilings with frescoed panels, crown moldings, 3 fireplaces, and a dramatic entry and vestibule. With 5 bedrooms, a den and 2½ baths on 3 floors, it offers an eat-in kitchen, 2-car driveway, and a large fully fenced yard with mature landscaping. There is hardwood flooring throughout, a sunlit room in the front turret, a formal dining room, and a formidable staircase with ornate banisters and stained-glass windows on each landing. The owners took great care to restore original details while outfitting the home with modern conveniences including AC, updated kitchen & baths, 200 amp electric, and perimeter drains. Officially named the ‘Anna F. Darling House’, this architecturally significant building is located in Winter Hill, only ½ mile to the Gilman Square green line MBTA stop, Rte. 93, and notable restaurants like Sarma & Highland Kitchen.
