About this home

Storybook Greek Revival Cottage in the heart of historic Upper Falls. Built in 1825 and carefully restored in 2007, this adorable detached two bedroom home is tucked into a lovely green flowering south facing lot, with winter views of the Charles River and only steps to Echo Bridge and Hemlock Gorge. With Energy Star efficiency and high end restoration, this condo alternative has a sunny and spacious feel, with hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, central air, new windows, and two fireplaces, one wood,one gas. The kitchen has cherry countertops and hammered copper backsplash. There is a half bath on the first floor and a large full bath on the second floor, between the two bedrooms. The grounds are beautiful, with a peaceful back porch, a brick patio for entertaining, and a nice shed for storage. Two full size parking spaces just off the rear. This house was given a 2008 Preservation Award by the City of Newton. Pride of ownership shows through in all the details.
