Description
This is a wonderful opportunity to restore the grandeur of a lovely Spring Hill home. Built as a elegant Second Empire single family, but used as a 3-family for many years, this property offers great promise and possibilities to convert it back to a SF. With many architectural details intact, including ornate exterior corbels, 2 original Carrara marble fps, high ceilings with medallions and crown mouldings, this gem is ready for a thoughtful renovation. Set on a deep lot, the property features a long driveway, 2-bay garage, and private yard. There are 3 sets of w/d hook-ups (2nd fl, 3rd fl, basement). Updates include electrical panels; energy-efficient heating and hot water systems; roof replacement. Walkable to Red Line and GLX subways at Porter, Davis, Magoun, and Union Sqs. as well as bike trails, shops, eateries, and nightlife. Easy access to Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Rts. 90, 93, 2, 16, 38, and Logan airport.
