About this home
OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED - OFFER ACCEPTED Occupying the 2nd floor of a graceful Victorian building, it has a private entrance that leads upstairs to a front hall, a bright living room in its east-facing turret, a dining room with a pass-through cabinet to the eat-in kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a remodeled bath. Period details like stained glass, ceiling medallions, and a decorative mantle add to the charm of these light-filled spaces, while a private deck overlooks the tree-lined street below. Recent updates include the furnace & water heater (2019), roof (2020), gutters (2022), and in 2021 the unit and the building were certified lead-safe. To top it off, there is a boodle of parking: 1 spot in the shared garage and a 2nd spot outside the garage, storage in the basement, and in-unit laundry. Conveniently located between Harvard, Inman & Union Squares, this special property awaits, & just might be the friend you have always been looking for!
