Full of soul, details abound in this magical 1890 Mansard Victorian! A shared entry hall is the perfect spot to leave shoes & coats before settling in. Though recorded as a 1 bedroom, the flexible layout lives comfortably as a 2BR, with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors & oversized rooms graced by marble fireplace mantels. Like a scene from HGTV, the kitchen features vibrant gem-toned cabinets, neutral quartz counters/backsplash & a hard-working pantry. Redone in 2023, the stylish bathroom offers gorgeous tile & smart storage. The primary bedroom, adjacent to the spacious living room, boasts an incredibly efficient custom walk-in closet. The fenced backyard welcomes 4-legged friends & is graced by a playhouse, patio & gardens that always seem to be in bloom. Steps to the Capitol Theatre, cafés & bakeries, the Minuteman Bike Path, Alewife T & the 77 bus. Just five miles from Boston, this gem delivers city living in a friendly, rooted community that you’ll never want to leave!
