About This Home
Set atop a hill in Boston's historic Tommy's Rock, this meticulously maintained Greek Revival dates to the mid-1800s and pairs architectural pedigree with modern comfort. Ten-foot ceilings, generous room proportions, and oversized windows fill the six-bedroom, five-bath home with light. Original pumpkin pine floors, curved staircases, inlaid shutters, and marble fireplaces sit alongside recent updates, including all-new bathrooms and a rebuilt rear deck. An attached in-law suite with its own private entrance adds flexibility for guests, extended family, or income potential. Outside, a multi-tiered, professionally landscaped yard and several decks open onto sweeping Boston skyline views. A two-car driveway and easy access to transit, universities, and a thriving restaurant scene round out the package — historic character, modern living, in one of the city's most sought-after up-and-coming neighborhoods.
