1891 Chateaux-style Victorian Era townhouse on a tree-lined side street off Beacon Street. This home has been well maintained during the sellers’ 48 years of ownership. Ten foot ceilings, hardwood parquet flooring, 6 fireplaces, stained glass, pocket doors, and magnificent center hall staircase. Almost all original detail remains intact throughout. The 1st floor offers gracious sized entertaining rooms and an eat-in kitchen. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms and an office. The 3rd floor has 2 more bedrooms, a stained glass skylight and a large playroom. The 4th floor is an unfinished attic space with 12 to 16 foot ceilings, a skylight and window. The lower level is an open unfinished basement that offers utility room and storage. The house is served by a high efficiency hydro-air and air conditioning system. It is ideally located a few blocks to Runkle /Driscoll schools, C and D MBTA lines, and vibrant Washington Square. Expansion potential but a lovely home as it stands.
