Custom built in 1878 and cherished by the same family for generations this picturesque Queen Anne Victorian is ready for its next chapter. An architectural treasure, it has long been admired by neighbors for its charming period details. The inviting covered porch with signature half round windows leads to an expansive foyer and grand staircase. A parlor with fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen and half bath complete the first floor living space while upstairs there are four bedrooms, a full bath, and walk-up attic ready to be re-imagined as additional quarters. Positioned proudly with a detached two bay garage on .41acre, 20 Houston Ave presents endless possibilities to savor the past while creating a modern homestead for today's lifestyle. With close proximity to Boston, the Blue Hills, schools, parks, and public transportation the location combines the best of what Milton offers. Opportunity knocks to make this unique home your own.
