Property Description

Attached single-family in hip Lower Allston with no shared expenses, HOA, or condo fees! Discover the charm, character, and versatility of this sun-filled Victorian-era home. Situated on a corner lot with exposure on three sides, this home is filled with natural light from gorgeous oversized windows. High ceilings, beautiful wood floors, and period details add warmth and character throughout. Offering five bedrooms, two full baths, and three levels of flexible living space, there's room to make it your own or explore its investment potential. 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! With two additional rooms, a kitchenette complete with a sink, midsize refrigerator, and apartment-size dishwasher, plus a second full bathroom, this level offers incredible flexibility. Perfect for a guest retreat, au pair suite, private home office, or perhaps an opportunity to generate a little extra income through Airbnb! The possibilities are endless!

Two-three off-street parking spaces and a top-of-the-line EV charger complete the package. 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!
