About this home

The one you have been waiting for! Circa 1837 the David Brown House has been long admired as one of Charlestown’s most breathtaking Single Family homes. This unmistakable property recently underwent a renovation that offers modern amenities while honoring the historic charm and detail. Perfectly positioned to shine in the sun with its southeastern orientation, this 3 bed 3 bath home offers the perfect layout for city living complete with a professionally landscaped garden. The first floor has an open kitchen leading into the living room with an adjacent trellised patio and formal dining room. The kitchen is a chef's dream with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets, complete with a wine chiller. It was completely redesigned and renovated in 2014. This home features a large master suite with large walk-in closet, laundry and peaceful sitting area. 4 decorative fireplaces, 175 year old original pine floors, and a slate roof details leave a lasting impression
