6 Camere Da Letto Unifamiliare Indipendente

Every now and again, a grand residence from an earlier era comes to market, seeking a new steward to carry its history forward. This impressive Victorian home on historic Sumner Hill yearns for restoration. Twelve gracious rooms offer artisan-crafted woodwork & period details throughout. A dramatic entry foyer features ornate wood-framed arches, a fireplace with an elaborate mantel and lift-top bench, tall wainscoting, stained glass, and a sweeping staircase. Beyond, double parlors showcase pocket doors, bay windows, a petite plant solarium, fireplaces in each room, and inlaid oak floors. Off the kitchen, the formal dining room boasts a built-in sideboard, another fireplace, and direct access to the rear deck. Sleeping quarters above comprise six bedrooms with wood flooring, some highlighted by bay windows and fireplaces, along with two full baths, and a generously sized primary bedroom with charming covered porch and balcony. Additional features include original decorative windows, abundant built-ins, a unique linen room with a wall of cabinetry and a cedar closet on an upper floor, and remnants of the original scullery on the lower level. The grounds hold the promise of a lovely yard and gardens. The western side of the house fronts on a private way, creating off-street parking among an intimate enclave of neighboring homes. Sumner Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once part of a vast tract of land known as the Greenough Estate, the property was subdivided in the late 1800’s. A cluster of architecturally significant homes was built throughout the hill at that time, many owned by prominent figures who helped shape Boston’s economic and social landscape. Today, Sumner Hill remains highly sought-after for its beautifully restored residences and proximity to Jamaica Plain’s cultural and natural treasures, along with its many notable restaurants and shops. Come make this your dream home!
