About this home

This stunning home is located on one of the most beautiful streets on the North Shore. Come see this 19th-century Federalist single family townhouse, thoughtfully renovated in 2021 with care and attention to detail. From the moment you enter the cheery foyer, you're drawn into a spacious double parlor with floor-to-ceiling windows and two fireplaces. Just beyond, the formal dining room features a bay window and its own fireplace. The kitchen blends classic character with modern convenience, offering high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an island, and a breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and a beautiful en suite bath that includes a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a stylish full bath complete the 2nd floor. The third level adds even more flexibility, with two more bedrooms, another full bath, and a cedar storage room. The top floor offers a creative space with its own bath. Enchanting yard and 2 car Parking.
