Historically significant home in the prestigious Brattle Street neighborhood. Designed by Lois Lilley Howe, noted architect and the first woman admitted to the American Institute of Architects. The front yard is green and sunny, and has a patio, and gravel drive. This beautifully proportioned Colonial Revival home has wonderful symmetry and lovely natural light. The rooms are gracious, comfortable, and the layout intuitive. The entry hall, spacious and inviting, presents an attractive airy staircase, a feature for which Howe was well known. The second floor has a lovely landing, and two of the bedrooms have period quarter sawn oak parquet floors. The third floor, renovated by Howe (about 10 years after she built the house) is amazing and largely preserved, with an oversized east-facing window, a dressing room and bath. The basement has generous ceiling height, and a direct door to the rear of the house. The house has been owned by the same family for more than 50 years.
