Built in 1865, and set in 0.6 acres with lawns and lush plantings, this French Second Empire style residence is resplendent in original architectural detail. Of historic importance, this was the residence of real estate and insurance businessman and author Robert Apthorp Boit. Robert was a brother of painter Edward Darley Boit, whose daughters were the subjects of John Singer Sargent’s 1882 painting The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, which hangs in the Museum of Fine Arts. The residence offers 8,124sf of living space with grand scale entertaining rooms, a library, modern kitchen, spa room, 8 bedrooms, 7 fireplaces, an elevator and an independent guest suite. A handsome detached barn provides a garage, workshop and two rooms for a studio, fitness facility or home office. This central location is near Boston’s Longwood Medical and Academic Area and the Green Line’s Longwood T station. There is easy access to Boston’s Back Bay and all that the city has to offer.
