About this home

Located at the top of Academy Hill Road, this Mansard Victorian is tucked away in a quiet section of Brighton between Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Center and provides easy access to Boston College and much more. Situated on 8,000 square feet of land, the house has over 2,000 square feet of living space and has been lovingly cared for over the years. The first floor has high ceilings, a large entry foyer, a formal living and dining room, eat in kitchen, hardwood floors, a half bathroom, and enclosed porch with a doorway leading out to the recently paved driveway. The second floor has three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, a full bath and a small room currently being used as an office. The full walk out basement provides ample storage space. The large amount of land offers plenty of space for recreation as well as possible expansion (buyer to verify with the city on expansion potential).
