Historic Arts and Crafts home on Voigt Park designed by George V. Pottle for George R. Anthony in 1911. This Boston Edison stunner has rich historical character and all the modern updates you could need for today's lifestyle.
The first floor has a classic colonial layout and side entrance front door connected to a screened in front porch with original ceramic tile. The living room has original hardwood floors, detailed pocket doors, wood burning fireplace, and an attached sun room that all overlook the gorgeous front gardens and Voigt Park across the street. The dining room has original wainscotting and hardwood floors and connects to the pantry hallway and screened-in back porch. The pantry hallway connects the dining room, and an additional rear porch to the kitchen. The kitchen has brand new ceramic floor tile, brand new ceiling fan, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops. A powder room behind the staircase to the second floor completes the first floor. The stairwell to the second floor has beautiful original leaded glass windows. The second floor landing is spacious and leads to four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite overlooks the park, has 2 closets, and a freshly updated ensuite bathroom with brand new floor tile, wall tile, and a custom walk-in shower with glass enclosure. A second bedroom overlooks the park. Bedrooms three and four face the rear of the house, are connected with a jack and jill bathroom, and each have their own balconies overlooking the backyard. A third full bathroom with a large soaking bathtub, and built in closets round out the second floor.
The third floor was completely remodeled in 2022, and has a full bathroom, kitchenette, windows overlooking the park, and custom storage solutions. The third floor could be used as an additional family room or a separate apartment for family, friends, or a nanny.
Laundry and additional storage are in the basement. A detached 2-car garage has electricity and garage doors facing the paved alley. The front and back yard are filled with mature perennial plantings, walking paths, and no grass to mow. The home has won best garden in the neighborhood more than once.
The home has radiant heat in the basement, first floor, and second floor, and a forced air furnace for the second and third floor. Central air conditioning cools the third floor and second floor. The roof has spray foam insulation, and there are custom interior window storms/screens for every window in the house. The sewer line was completely replaced with PVC about 10 years ago. Synthetic composite shingles were installed on the roof about 10 years ago. The boiler was replaced 5 years ago, and the AC and Furnace were installed in 2022. The home has all of its original double hung wooden windows and all sash cords and hardware were fixed in 2026.
This is a rare chance to own an amazing historic home situated on beautiful Voigt Park!
