Listing broker remarks

Located on a picturesque tree-lined street on the Flat of the Hill, this 1914 townhouse spans 5,194 square feet, offering four bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and two private outdoor spaces. The main floor opens with a gracious foyer leading to an elegant dining room. One level below, the garden floor unfolds around a generous kitchen, dining area, and family room, all opening directly to a private brick patio—a rare, quiet outdoor retreat in the heart of the city. Above the main floor, the house reveals one of its most remarkable spaces: a double-height great room (living room/library), with an open balcony on the level above overlooking the room. The scale is extraordinary, creating a centerpiece for both quiet afternoons and elegant entertaining. The next floor holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The top floor is anchored by the primary suite, with a walk-in closet and elegant bath, and an additional bedroom at the opposite end of the hall. A private roof deck crowns the residence with unobstructed 360-degree views across Boston. Not to be missed!— MGS Group Real Estate LTD
