Property Description

Whether relaxing by the fire in the cozy family room or sipping a cool drink by the in-ground pool, you'll find this Shingle-Style Victorian, in one of Dorchester's most sought-after neighborhoods, a true home for all seasons. Built in 1880 and rich in history, there is ample room to entertain: living room, dining room and family room, each with an intricate fireplace, built-in cabinetry and warm wood accents. Watch the world go by from the recessed front porch, or watch the jays and cardinals from the 3-season back porch. From French doors in the artfully updated and bright kitchen the large backyard beckons: patio, garden, hot tub, outdoor shower and that rare pool in the heart of the city. The 2nd and 3rd floors offer 6 bright and airy bedrooms and 3 full baths, including Master En-Suite, and 2 add'l fireplaces. Steps to the Shawmut T, and close to farmers markets, coffee shops/restaurants and the Neponset River Trail.
