About This Home

As of May 2019

A stunner on the Islington Peninsula for the most discerning buyer. Beyond the spacious farmer's porch, this traditional and contemporary, thoughtfully renovated home offers a gracious foyer, formal living room with fireplace and dining room with custom built-in storage. Enjoy tranquil wooded views from the family room and sun-splashed kitchen with access to the large deck. The second floor features a large, spa-like Master Suite with custom meditation porch- hand built in Vermont and reassembled at the home. Retractable Shoji doors offer peeks of the Charles River and backyard including a sculpture by Eric O'Leary whose pieces are part of the MFA's permanent collection. Two family bedrooms and full bath round out the second floor. The third floor features two bedrooms and full bath. The sense of community on the peninsula, as featured on CBS Sunday Morning, is unrivaled. Welcome home.
