Originally a single level home with a traditional Victorian "high basement", this 2-level home now offers a flexible floor plan with two bedrooms, one bathroom, beautiful living and dining rooms, an updated kitchen and a mud room on the upper level, plus an expansive finished lower level bonus area with a media room, an office/playroom, one full bathroom + an attached garage. Original Victorian details include 11-ft ceilings, handsome hickory floors, oversized Victorian windows and doors w/the original trim, picture rails, a stunning stained glass transom and a clawfoot tub. The sun-filled kitchen looks out to the backyard, and includes quartz counters, a farmhouse sink & stainless steel appliances. The garden level bonus room/office gives views of the lush backyard, while the media room is wired for surround sound + a flat screen TV. The attractive lower level bathroom features a walk-in shower. The backyard provides a private oasis with mature landscaping, plenty of green screens, and tall bamboo stands. Close to downtown Webster St amenities, Franklin and Washington parks, and convenient to downtown Park St + public transportation options.
