They fell in love with this c1871 French Mansard's commanding presence atop Avon Hill, the way it captures the daylong sunlight, and the privacy of the lawn & garden which they cultivated to produce a perennial procession of color through the seasons. After 18 years described as ones of extreme joy, now comes your turn to enjoy this amazingly modern single-family alternative, defined by high quality finishes, period details & impeccable craftsmanship. On the main level, a formal layout ties together generously proportioned & high-ceilinged rooms: a fireplaced LR, a bay-windowed DR & a cook's kitchen w/ Sub Zero fridge & Wolf range. Upstairs, a primary BR w/ substantial walk-in closet & ensuite bath, & a 2nd BR/study outfitted w/ custom cabinetry & bookcases, plus a bay-windowed reading nook & full bath in the hall. The 3rd fl offers 3 more BRs, 3rd full bath & laundry. On this leafy side street it's easy to forget that Harvard, Lesley, & the T @ Porter Sq are just a short walk away.
