About this home

Unique in every way, this single family home with a private patio perfectly embodies the historic charm of Charlestown. Ideally located a short distance from the Orange Line T, a community garden, a community theater, and top-notch restaurants, this meticulously updated property provides comfort and privacy against the backdrop of vibrant city life. The practical layout features a petite entryway mudroom, a spacious exposed-beam kitchen & dining area, a 1st floor bath, a generously sized living room with a murphy bed and desk nook, a top floor bedroom suite with walk-in closet & second full bath, basement storage, and in-unit laundry. Recent updates include ductless A/C (2022), Anderson windows throughout (2024), a new oven (2025), custom window treatments, fresh paint, and newer bedroom carpeting. Located down a brick path at the end of row houses, this turn-key property is filled with sunlight and views of mature trees in its idyllic setting. All of this with no HOA!
