Experience the rare blend of historic elegance and modern convenience in a resplendent 1902 single family residence. Nestled at the foot of Roslindale Village, this 6,193 SqFt home, with 8+ bedrooms and 3 ½ baths was restored, not renovated, over the past 7 years with the aim of keeping its architectural character intact. Painstakingly restored to its original glory- it's a testament to the value of preserving history over demolition. Every detail was considered from the stained/leaded glass windows, decorative molding, historic wall paper to the addition of 50+ custom Marvin replacement windows. Some features added: refinished 1700+ sq ft basement, new kitchen & bathrooms as well as a heat pump (modernity for year-round comfort). Located near public transportation, shopping, parks, and more, with 2 off-street parking spaces, this home is both a sanctuary and a convenient urban retreat. To celebrate Juneteenth, our Broker's Open House on 6/19 features a complimentary lunch. 12-1:30 p.m
