About this home

Once in a lifetime opportunity in the South End's most sought after location! Classic bowfront townhouse overlooking the center of beautiful Union Park offers six floors of living space and three parking spaces. Property is currently configured as a lower duplex and four single floor residences. The duplex features a wide open living level with exposed brick, including lovely arches framing a granite and stainless steel kitchen with convenient breakfast bar. Wall of glass leads to two-tiered garden patio and parking area. The majestic parlor level is graced with magnificent original detail. All apartments have private outdoor space and are well-maintained. Original wood floors and period fireplace mantels delightfully accent these classic spaces. Built for Alexander Hamilton Rice, Mayor of Boston from 1856 to 1857 and the 30th Governor of Massachusetts from 1876–78, the sky's the limit as to what this property's next lucky owner could create in this dream setting.
