    What's special

    Our 5 bedroom historic house (built in 1892) sits on a large lot - over 4400 square feet with a yard full of beautiful fruit trees, flowers, and a grape arbor over the backyard patio. Generous two car driveway. The house has 2533 square feet of living area. There are two working fireplaces. The setting is gracious, quiet and tranquil, just steps from lively and exciting Union Square. One mile to Harvard and MIT, with convenient access to I93 & Logan Airport, and dangerously close to Union Square Donuts. Easy walking distance to Green, Red and Orange line T stops. Around the corner from amazing shops, restaurants, the famous Farmers Market, and all that Union Square has to offer. The neighbors actually greet you when you walk down the street.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
