A truly special property: This striking Victorian-style home has been cared for by two generations of the same family. Unit 1 lives like a single-family—graciously spread across two full floors, connected by a handsome Jack and Jill staircase. You'll find French doors and original pocket doors, complete with their antique hardware. The grand-entry foyer welcomes you with timeless charm. Oak floors glow, chandeliers sparkle, and a fireplace trimmed in Italian granite anchors the living and dining rooms. With granite countertops and oak floors, the kitchen brings functionality and character. A private-entry, 1 bedroom in-law apartment crowns the third floor, offering income potential or room to grow. This home has central air, is move-in ready and awaits your personal touches. Situated on a corner lot with driveway and cozy yard. Perched between Union and Porter Squares at the bottom of Spring Hill-- not far from Harvard/Lesley/MIT--this location isn't up-and-coming; It’s already here.
