Amazing offering of 1850's Antique farmhouse set on over 19,000 sq ft of land abutting the golf course of Oakley Country Club. Set on a beautifully wooded lot with fruit trees and flowering exotics. The house is set high on the lot with tremendous views over surrounding roof tops to the spires of Boston College. This is your opportunity to restore this antique gem or to build a new dream home in a fantastic setting and location. Truly one of a kind property.
