About this home

Tucked away on a leafy side street, steps from Porter Square's vibrant Red Line stop, this handsome 3-family exudes character. Loved by one family for 45 years, it offers a unique experience. Rich wood paneling and arched doorways evoke a bygone era. The 1st-floor 1BR + study boasts a modern white shaker kitchen with quartz counters. The front living room features a decorative fireplace, bay window, and lodge-like paneling. The 2nd-floor unit offers 2 bedrooms and a private front porch. The top level crowns it all with coffered ceilings in the living room and a treetop view. A garage provides storage, and the brick patio becomes a summer haven. Enjoy city convenience with a private retreat. Steps from Porter Square shops, the Red Line T, commuter rail, and the Minute Man Bike Path.
