The 1880 House: Historic Single Family Victorian/Walk to Stores, Train and Park.

Welcome to our house!!! My family would love for your family to come and experience what it is like to live in the 'ur-burbs' - or the urban suburbs during the 2023 Summer. We are located in West Roxbury, which is the last neighborhood in Boston and is filled with public servants, baseball games and local festivals. We truly love it here and summer is the best time to visit New England!! This house was built in 1880 and maintains all original hardwood and a beautifully restored stained glass window. 2022 Renovation placed recessed lighting throughout the house in addition to adding two full bathrooms while also fully renovating the existing one. You can have fun trying to find the house on our antique map of the area, located in the foyer:)

Do you want to take your family on a vacation and not keen on squeezing into a 400 sf hotel room? Not quite sure you want to make the move from the city to the burbs? Come try our house out!! Amazing family-oriented neighborhood next to a park/playground, Starbucks and tons of eating options!

Boston has so much to offer in the Spring and Summer! The 2019 US News and World Report even ranked Boston as THE NUMBER ONE summer destination in the USA!!! As the leaves and grass begin to grow, Boston's parks put on an unforgettable show of color, complementing the historic architecture. A walk along the city's Freedom Trail doubles as a foliage tour. It's a great time to visit Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace or take a stroll through the gorgeous indoor courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. For sports fans, the Red Sox are back in town!! No better way to enjoy Boston than a game at Fenway Park.

A trip north of Boston to Kittery, Maine, will provide plenty of great shopping opportunities at the Kittery Outlets and maybe a stop in Portmsouth, NH? North of Boston also features Salem, which provides a very educational experience about colonial New England. South of Boston, Cape Cod in the summer is made for a trip to the beach. More history awaits at Plymouth! There are so many things to do, and when you include the surrounding areas of Boston, its amazing!

This Victorian house in the Bellevue Hill neighborhood, built in 1880 features all original woodwork and a hand carved staircase. 7500 square foot lot, which can lead to lots of lazy BBQs for you! ***Huge complete 2022 Renovation - complete with two new bathrooms, a new driveway, recessed lighting throughout, Kemper Cabinets, Jenn-Air Professional appliances and white quartz countertops.

Included in the price is professional yard workers and a bi-monthly house cleaning service. We have a ton of kids toys. We have scooters, bikes - you name it. Our backyard has a big patio, a grill and a firepit (gas) for lots of family fun:)

I would like to make and potential renters aware that this listing is our home, it is not a second property or investment property - so it isn't *that* kind of rental. We have stayed at lots of Homeaway rentals ourselves, so just wanted to let you all know that. It is not pristine, but it is a huge, beautiful, historic house which we love:)

Also, Spring/early summer in Boston can either be warm and in the 80s or freezing and in the 30s. If it is cold, we will make our best attempt to keep the house heated to functional degree (around 70ish) but keep in mind these old Victorian homes are super porous and heat just leaks out. We also do not have central air-conditioning which is quite normal for these parts, but a surprise to those that live in places where it is expected. Also, although we have an original fireplace, it is truly original and therefore not functional:)

Please let me know if you have any questions at all - we want you to have a great time visiting this amazing city!
