About This Home
This stunning home is located on one of the most beautiful streets on the North Shore. Come see this 19th-century Federalist single family townhouse, thoughtfully renovated in 2021 with care and attention to detail.

The kitchen blends classic character with modern convenience, offering high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an island, and a breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and a beautiful en suite bath that includes a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a stylish full bath complete the 2nd floor. The third level adds even more flexibility, with two more bedrooms, another full bath, and a cedar storage room. The top floor offers a creative space with its own bath. Enchanting yard and 2 car Parking.
