About This Home

As of November 2019

A magnificent oasis in the City, 15 Buckingham Street is a truly rare find: A detached single family home on an Inman Square side street, beautifully detailed and with a surprisingly lush and private backyard. High ceilings, plentiful architectural detail, large windows and an elegant staircase are all hallmarks of this home's careful original construction. Modern amenities, including upgraded heating and cooling systems, high-end Marvin windows, and a stylish, architect-designed half bath were all done sympathetically to the character of the house. Out the back door, among the fruit trees (both Bartlett pear and sour cherry) are perfect spots to sit in the shade and to entertain. Relaxing in your secluded backyard, you'll likely forget you're in the middle of the city!
