Two fireplaces anchor the gracious living room and intimate library, adding timeless architectural character. The thoughtful floor plan offers two generous bedrooms in a private wing, plus a flexible third room perfect as an office or guest suite. The kitchen flows into a large walk-in pantry—a rare luxury. With 8'5" ceilings, central A/C, and elegant period detailing, this exceptional residence embodies what architect Louis Kahn described as "the thoughtful making of space... evoking a feeling of quiet joy." Impeccably maintained building, 100% owner-occupied, landscaped garden. Red Line to MIT, MGH, and downtown Boston one block away.
