About this home
Gracious home on Commonwealth Avenue Carriage Lane welcomes you with a spacious foyer and an inviting sense of warmth, character and architectural detail. This beautiful 6 bedroom, 2.5bath Craftsman home reflects the charm and warmth of American Craftsman charm, featuring authentic period details from the original coffered ceiling, window seats and oak wainscoting inthe living room, to exposed eaves and exterior architectural ornamentation discovered during the 2020 total renovation of the home’s exterior. The elegant living room leads to a large formal dining room which opens to an enclosed porch overlooking the yard, as well as a small butler’s pantry which leads to the kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry and hardwood floors. Generously sized bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, home offices, or additional living needs, while the first floor den adds valuable versatility. The lower level offers additional finished space complete with a fireplace, ideal as a playroom, home office, recreation area or other lifestyle needs. The third floor boasts two bedrooms with wood flooring and a finished full bathroom. This wonderful location is just minutes from the Green Line D train, schools, houses of worship, neighborhood amenities and the Mass. Pike. An added bonus – enjoy the unique experience of viewing the Boston Marathon from the comfort of your own home. A special opportunity to own a spacious, character-filled home with exceptional architectural details, inviting porches, and flexible living spaces in a highly desirable neighborhood. Open Houses Saturday 8/29 & Sunday 8/30 from 12-1:30PM.
