Spring Hill. Between Porter, Union, and Harvard Squares, this reimagined single-family home was thoughtfully renovated in 2024, merging clean, contemporary design with Victorian detail and sophistication. The gracious foyer leads to the functional kitchen, with large work surfaces and abundant custom cabinetry, and to the living room, which is neatly anchored by a stylish fireplace. The sunlit dining room is equally suited to intimate dinners or lively gatherings, and the mudroom provides space for everyday essentials. The muted elegance of white oak flooring enhances the natural light throughout. With four generously sized bedrooms, including an upper-level primary with an office, and an entertainment area on the lower level, this home is high functioning! Outside, the fenced yard and deck offer a leafy urban escape. EV charging + 2 car parking completes this special home. Located close to many eateries and cafés, 81 Lowell unites Victorian residential calm with a dynamic urban life.
