About this home
Solid 4-story Charlestown single family house ready for transformation after being owner-occupied by the same family for 30 years.

Natural wood flooring covers all four levels of the house. Outdoor patio and new deck can be accessed off the kitchen level. Two additional doors are located at the front of the house. Central AC available on the top two floors installed in an accessible pulldown attic space. Four zones of heat allow for comfortable living on every floor. Parking is available on street with a permit. Owner-occupants may qualify for significantly reduced taxes with a city of Boston residential tax exemption in place.
