About this home

A rare offering in the historic Half Crown-Marsh District, the coveted neighborhood south of Brattle Street/Tory Row. Flooded with natural light and only 1.5 blocks from the Charles River, you will feel nicely ensconced in this elevated house with the natural privacy the surroundings provide - there is no parking on the house side of the street. A beautifully proportioned living room with fireplace and built-ins graces the front of the house. Eat-in-kitchen could be opened to the dining room. A heated, knotty pine sunroom overlooks the expansive yard with a patio and magnificent sprawling copper beech tree and other greenery. An office, half bath complete the 1st floor. The 2d floor has 3 bedrooms (a wall was removed to make a large primary bedroom) and 2 full baths. One underground garage with driveway parking. Superbly located near parks, Shady Hill, BB&N, the T, Harvard, HBS, HLS, MIT, BU, MGH, Longwood Medical and Academic Area, all points east, west, north, south. Bike score: 99
