The historic detail of this dramatic Back Bay home must be seen to be believed! Constructed in 1878 by noted builders, Webster and Dixon, as a single family, this timeless home is elegant. Soaring ceilings frame period plaster moldings and casement work that would be difficult to replicate. The 25' wide living room overlooks one of the most cherished blocks of the sunny-side of Commonwealth Ave. The period mantle is draped in charm but contrasts with modern sconces and lighting. The living level also features a stately entrance hall, dining room, kitchen and the master suite, all of which boast spectacular detail. This floor plan makes living so comfortable and easy. There is direct elev access to both floors of this duplex home. The floor above features 2 large bedrooms, a sitting room with a wet bar for watching TV or playing games & a full bath. This layout is ideal for guests or children home for the Summer or holidays. Ext storage in the basement as well as direct access parking.
