About this home
Unique in every way, this row house with a private patio perfectly embodies the historic charm of Charlestown. Ideally located a short distance from the Orange Line T, public amenities like the community garden & theater, and Ctown's best shops & restaurants, this meticulously updated property provides comfort and privacy against the backdrop of vibrant city life. The practical layout features an entryway mudroom, a spacious exposed-beam kitchen & dining area, a 1st floor bath, a generously sized living room with a murphy bed, a top floor bedroom suite with walk-in closet & second full bath, basement storage, and in-unit laundry. Recent updates include A/C (2022), Anderson windows throughout (2024), custom window treatments, a new oven (2025), a new hot water heater (2026), fresh paint, and bedroom carpeting. Located down a charming brick path, this turn-key property is filled with sunlight and views of mature trees in its idyllic setting. Residential exemption available to reduce taxes. All of this with no HOA!
