****Photos now updated***** Showings beginning Friday, 12/10. Words and pictures don’t do this unique, cozy, light-filled home justice. Perched on top of Powder Horn Hill in Chelsea’s Malone Park neighborhood, this beautiful single family 4-bedroom 2-bath was recently renovated in collaboration with award-winning Third Coast Interiors out of Chicago. The three-story home, built in 1900, maintains much of its historic charm with 9-foot high tin ceilings and art-deco touches while boasting a new third-floor master suite, new appliances and modern kitchen. Get your hygge fix in front of the wood burning fireplace in the living room or one of the many nooks throughout the home. Porches off the first and second floors provide expansive views of downtown Boston - and a front row seat for 4th of July and New Year's Eve fireworks! A fenced grassy backyard with tiered landscaping off the walk-out basement, a driveway with space for 2 cars and detached 1-car garage complete the outdoor space. Not included in the square footage is the 750 sq ft basement which includes a recreation space, laundry and second kitchen - potential for conversion to a mother-in-law or income-generating apartment. Master suite comprises a 13x15 second room that could be a den, office, workout room, closet or nursery and a 9x10 room that is plumbed and ready to become a bathroom. Newer roof and hot water heater, new HVAC in 2018, fresh paint throughout and all floors newly refinished. Close to bus, rail and the Silver Line for a quick commute into Boston, and walking distance to Soldier’s Home. Listed FSBO prior to posting on MLS. Seller will offer a 1% buyer’s agent commission, or buy without an agent and keep the 1% as a cash credit at close.
