About this home

Perfectly located on highly desirable Chestnut Street in the heart of Beacon Hill, this classic federal style home with 7 bedrooms and 3.5 baths would be ideal for a developer or discerning buyer who has a little imagination and the desire to restore this spectacular home. Once the private residence for a non profit organization in Boston, this historic treasure, built by Cornelius Coolidge in 1824, has plenty of old-world charm with high ceilings, 10 fireplaces, hardwood floors throughout and a private outdoor patio. Close to Charles Street, there is much to enjoy with nearby restaurants, shops, walks through Boston Common, the Public Garden and the lovely Esplanade.
