Set on a leafy side street near Tufts, Davis, and Teele, this bright, renovated Victorian home is a refreshing find, offering old home charm and new home conveniences! Here, spindled archways and stained glass mingle with hip wall coverings and fun window treatments, harmoniously blending historic detail with refined pops of contemporary design. High above the street, the main level unfolds gracefully, from the stunning foyer to the connected living and dining rooms, to the thoughtful, bespoke kitchen with double wall ovens, a proper vent hood, and an island with mahogany top. French doors connect the inside to the lush fenced yard and patio, all under a canopy of green. Upstairs: a handsome office and three additional bedrooms on the second floor, and the third floor primary suite is a total delight with a cathedral ceiling, a true walk-in closet, and a crisp, bright bathroom with plenty of elbow room. An unfinished basement and two-car parking complete this special home.
