Boasting exceptional curb appeal, this 1885 Victorian in the Mt. Gilboa historic district welcomes you with intricate architectural details and a classic façade. Step inside and the ornate woodwork, high ceilings, and stained-glass set the tone for a home rich in character and craftsmanship. This much-loved home has 10 rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 2 full baths on 3 floors. The main floor has large living and dining rooms with bow windows and ceiling medallions, and the eat-in kitchen has an island with seating for 3. There’s also a 2-room suite with full bath, great for home office, guest suite, or the ease of first floor living. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, an office, and full bath, and the 5th bedroom is on the top floor along with plenty of attic storage space. With the onset of warm weather the outside will delight: a huge deck off the kitchen overlooks the yard and colorful gardens. Just a few blocks to several parks, and a half mile to Mass Ave and the Heights business district.
