About this home

Classic New England charm meets Modern City Living. Imagine morning coffee on a sprawling farmer's porch, afternoons bathed in stained-glass light, and quiet evenings hosted around a wood-burning fireplace. Nestled on a scenic side street in Brighton Center's unofficial "Mansion District," this iconic 1891 home offers an extraordinary canvas for all the above. This home feels like it has been lifted out of a historic district of Cambridge or Chestnut Hill, but at a fraction of the cost! Spanning over 4,000 square feet, the home strikes a perfect balance between grand architectural heritage and modern daily comforts. Intricate woodwork, pocket doors, and two sunrooms honor the home's historic roots, while central air and a bright, open-concept kitchen equipped with Bertazzoni, Liebherr, and Miele appliances caters to today's modern lifestyle. With six spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on the main three floors and a separate lower level in-law suite (with full bath & kitchenette); the layout offers unmatched versatility. Whether hosting guests, setting up a dedicated home office, or accommodating multi-generational living - the extra space offers a plethora of possibilities. Outside, there are multiple spaces for relaxing, gardening, and dining alfresco. A quiet sanctuary just moments from endless dining, commerce, and entertainment. Easily accessible to Harvard University, Boston College, MassPike, major roadways, and numerous bus lines. A truly special offering that should not be overlooked! Easy to show.

AI comment

This is a distinctive historic home with strong architectural character and flexible living space. The combination of period details, modern kitchen features, central air, and multiple indoor/outdoor areas should appeal to buyers seeking both charm and functionality. The lower-level in-law setup adds versatility, but its permitted use and condition should be verified. Buyers should also weigh the maintenance expectations of an 1891 property and clarify parking and lot details before proceeding.

PROS
- Significant historic character, including intricate woodwork, pocket doors, stained glass, sunrooms, porch, and wood-burning fireplace.
- Large, flexible layout with a lower-level in-law suite including a full bath and kitchenette.
- Modern kitchen appliances listed from Bertazzoni, Liebherr, and Miele.
- Central air is noted, which is a meaningful comfort feature in an older home.
- Multiple outdoor spaces, including porch, deck, patio, and areas described for gardening and dining.

CONS
- No garage spaces are listed, and parking details are not provided.
- Built in 1891, so buyers should investigate age and condition of systems, structure, windows, insulation, and ongoing maintenance needs.
- Bedroom count is inconsistent: the structured data lists 7 bedrooms, while the description references six bedrooms plus a lower-level in-law
