About this home

Located in the coveted Coolidge Hill Neighborhood this stately Italianate Victorian offers tremendous privacy from its oversized 14,000+ square foot lot, mature gardens and fenced-in yard and is just blocks away from the Shady Hill School and Buckingham Browne & Nichols. Classic 19th century details feature prominently with 9'-6" ceilings on the first floor, period millwork, a robust balustrade and staircase, hardwood and pine flooring, oversized windows, original plaster rosettes and a wrap-around porch. There are large rooms throughout including a double-parlor with wood burning fireplace, formal dining room and contemporary eat-in kitchen with a cozy enameled cast iron VT stove for winter mornings. The 2nd floor offers 9' ceilings, 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, a small study and fully renovated bathroom. The 3rd floor is a special retreat with cathedral ceilings, skylights and a newer vintage style bathroom with clawfoot tub. Also, central AC, 200amp electrical service, 2-car detached brick garage and a new (2025/2026) gas heating system. This is a unique property with many possibilities for adding additional living space, an ADU or potentially additional housing.
