About this home

Discover the charm, character, and versatility of this sun-filled Victorian-era attached single-family in hip Lower Allston. Situated on a corner lot with exposure on three sides, this home is filled with natural light from gorgeous oversized windows.

An enclosed front porch welcomes you into an inviting foyer and comfortable living room. The spacious, updated eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a glass subway tile backsplash, stylish cabinetry, and a convenient office nook, with plenty of room to gather. A driveway entrance leads to a practical mudroom with first-floor laundry. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, ample closet space, and a full bath with a tub. The third floor is an unexpected bonus, a cozy nest overlooking the treetops!

Just minutes to Harvard Business School and Harvard Square in Cambridge, with convenient access to downtown Boston, Boston Landing commuter rail, neighborhood restaurants and shops, the Mass Pike, and Storrow Drive.Natural light, soaring ceilings, beautiful architectural details, flexible living space, outdoor charm, and parking!
