At the very end of Wyman Rd, a private, quiet cul-de-sac tucked between Huron Village & Observatory Hill that feels more whispered about than well-known, there’s a house that seems pulled from the pages of a fairytale. Wrapped in mature trees & nestled on a generous, 7,113 sf lot, it calls to mind a country farmhouse, a storybook cottage, or both. Follow a winding path to the front door, brush your boots on the old iron scraper & step into a home full of nooks, crannies & heart. Inside are 4 BR plus a study, 3.5 baths, & a LL which opens to a secret garden & is connected to a heated garage. The layout is quirky, unfolding in ways you might not expect, and while the house is ready for some updates, for the right person, that will be part of the magic: the chance to reimagine the spaces, bring out the best of its character, and create something truly special. A short distance to Harvard Sq and access from both Wyman Rd & Huron Ave, this is a home with stories to tell and room to grow.
