About This Home
As of June 2019The love affair began in 1994 when he walked through the door & it has sustained him ever since. Woven beautifully into an 1890's Mansard building was a 4 level TH full of light, open spaces, large expanses of glass, & original brick & wood. From the sunken LR with its private patio, all the way up to the skylit master suite in the mansard, the property oozed personality. The 1st two levels are to share with family & friends: cooking in the open plan kitchen/DR or watching movies & swapping stories in the living room. The upper two levels are more private: two bedrooms are on the 3rd floor & a master sanctuary is on the 4th. From every level, he could see trees & feel the warmth of the sun. He could walk to Harvard Sq. in under 15 min, stroll along the Charles River at sunset & get into town easily when needed. Unlike some loves which end, he will take this one with him & leave behind the opportunity for someone new to develop their own romance with the townhouse known as 4 Sparks Pl.
