This beautiful home is historic (1860!!) but FULLY updated and gorgeous!!Great ‘city living’ experience only being ten minute walk to T station. We took a 30 minute commuter train ride to Salem for one day- super easy being just one stop away from North Station! Cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, and grocery all within 10 minute walk for necessities. Bunker Hill monument about 10 minutes too and you can view it from top two floors of home! Plenty of room and very family friendly whether you have teens or small children: playground, street hockey rink, and basketball court RIGHT next door, lots of families in neighborhood, well stocked playroom in finished basement, and THREE family rooms which is great if you have multi generations wanting to watch TV/movies (plus TV in master). Grill and patio were great for dinners outside. Cooked breakfast and dinner almost every day the whole week and kitchen was great and well stocked. Plenty of linens and comfortable beds. Condition of home and furnishings were top notch- nothing broken or overly worn. Having access to laundry was a life saver too! The house was IMMACULATELY clean- except for presence of toys you would never know children or pets live there ;) This was a perfect place to start and end each day especially after spending 6-10 hours out doing ‘tourist’ things around Boston. It really felt like home. Tim was responsive and friendly- even allowed us early access when our flight was changed to earlier and rain was forecasted- we didn’t have to stay out in the rain with our luggage. Highly recommended especially if you want the city experience with family amenities!
