Tucked along a quiet private lane in the heart of Charlestown, 8 Bolton Place feels like a hidden city retreat. This rare corner single-family offers an entire house and lot with two off-street parking spaces, a lush patio, and a layered garden that changes beautifully through the seasons. Renovated throughout in 2022, the home blends crisp modern finishes with classic Charlestown character. The open first floor features hardwood floors, custom built-ins, a renovated kitchen, French doors to the patio, and convenient first-floor laundry. Upstairs offers comfortable bedrooms, a flexible office or third bedroom, a renovated full bath, and added closets. Outside, enjoy pear trees, lilacs, peonies, dahlias, grape vines, lavender, sage, and juniper. Garden steps crafted from stones salvaged from the original foundation add a meaningful nod to the home’s history. A full basement provides valuable utility space for storage, fitness, bikes, and seasonal items.
