Located on a picturesque tree-lined street on the Flat of the Hill, this 1914 townhouse spans 5,194 square feet, offering four bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and two private outdoor spaces. The main floor opens with a gracious foyer leading to an elegant dining room. One level below, the garden floor unfolds around a generous kitchen, dining area, and family room, all opening directly to a private brick patio—a rare, quiet outdoor retreat in the heart of the city. Above the main floor, the house reveals one of its most remarkable spaces: a double-height grand living room/library, with an open balcony on the level above overlooking the room. The scale is extraordinary, creating a centerpiece for both quiet afternoons and elegant entertaining. The fourth floor holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The fifth is anchored by the primary suite, with a walk-in closet and elegant bath, and an additional bedroom at the opposite end of the hall. A private roof deck crowns the residence with unobstructed 360-degree views across Boston. Not to be missed!

ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 5,194 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 1,235 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
