About this home

RARE, RENOVATED WATERSIDE HOME FINALLY AVAILABLE: A study in scale, craftsmanship and timeless Boston elegance, this extraordinary single-level residence offers 2,260 SF of beautifully appointed living with views toward the Charles River. Direct elevator access opens to a dramatic black-and-white marble foyer and an expansive living/dining room with soaring ceilings, fireplace and magnificent bow windows capturing river views and natural light. Beautifully proportioned rooms showcase exquisitely restored paneled ceilings, intricate mouldings and handsome millwork throughout. Two generously scaled, king-size bedrooms offer a sense of serenity and privacy, while a spacious dedicated office provides an elegant setting for working from home or quiet retreat. Historic architecture is seamlessly balanced by modern comforts, including a newly updated kitchen, two renovated baths, laundry, central air and parking located directly behind the building. Grand yet understated, this is a rare residence where exceptional architecture, gracious scale, light and views come together beautifully.
