About this home
This lovely, serene and unspoiled town house, built in 1834, is situated near the crest of Pinckney Street. The house has many Greek Revival characteristics such as a granite basement, a flat headed entrance and brownstone trim. There is a beautiful garden and a large basement. Nathaniel Hawthorne lived in this house at one point. Although the house needs some updating, there is great potential.
