1646 Centre St, Boston

Listing broker remarks

Just outside West Roxbury's vibrant center sits this stately federal-style colonial, built in the early 1900s and full of character, charm and potential. Situated on a nearly 10,000-square-foot lot in a residential-two-family zoned neighborhood, this home offers just shy of 2,000 square feet of living area, including three bedrooms - two on the second level and one on the first level, one full and two half-baths, a spacious open area easily 'reimagined' as an eat-in kitchen and living space, and a beautiful living room featuring a carved wood mantle and flooded with natural light, plus a lower-level family room for additional living space. Freshly refinished hardwood floors and newly painted interior throughout bring it that much closer to move-in ready. An under-house garage and spacious driveway provide parking for six or more vehicles, plus a private rear yard. Location is unbeatable: on the bus line, a three-minute walk to the commuter rail, one minute stroll to Holy Name Parish, and a short drive to Faulkner Hospital and downtown Boston. The home was most recently used as a law office but can be returned back to residential use with City approval. This unique opportunity offers a wonderful opportunity to bring a piece of West Roxbury history back to life as a single-family home. Endless possibilities await!— Gilmore Murphy Realty LLC
