Property Description
This house was originally built in 1860. In 1900 the house was purchased and converted into a 2-family home to accommodate extended family. Today homes like this in Boston have been converted into apartments and condos. Retaining its original structure each room in this historic 2 address house has been renovated to offer all of the modern conveniences that make for a pleasant stay. House characteristics of that era like steep stairs and smaller room sizes could prove challenging for some visitors, but perfect for those looking to fully experience the history of Boston. This upper unit has 2,200 square feet of living space divided into 12 rooms consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room, den/5th bedroom, porch, game room, large yard, outside BBQ with patio dining for 8 and off-street parking for 2 cars.
The house allows a maximum of 12 people. The standard sleeping configuration is to use the 4 bedrooms and the den as sleeping areas. However for added convenience and privacy the sleeping areas can be expanded during warm weather months into 8 distinct sleeping areas that include: 1) Master Bedroom queen size bed (with an EZ inflate twin in the closet), 2) Maple Bedroom full size bed, 3) White Bedroom full size bed, 4) Porch Bedroom full size bed, 5) Den full size and twin size sleeper couches, 6) Porch twin size bed (not heated so unusable Nov–Mar), 7) 3rd floor Loft twin size bed and 8) Game Room EZ inflate queen size bed (also not heated so unusable Nov–Mar).
Boston is America’s oldest city with the downtown area surrounded by 22 Boston neighborhoods. The property is situated in Boston’s “Brighton neighborhood”, which is the college neighborhood surrounded by Harvard to the North, Boston College to the South and Boston University to the East. This location is ideal as you are only 5 miles from downtown Boston and 200 yards from Brighton Center. Brighton Center is a quaint urban area with banks, a post office, library, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, pizza places, ice cream parlors and more. Enjoy a Pats or Sox game with locals in one of the Irish pubs, have lunch in a pleasant courtyard restaurant, or take an after dinner stroll for some ice cream. Brighton’s lively center offers an authentic taste of life in the Boston area. The house is also within walking distance from a United Church of Christ, Roman Catholic Church and a Jewish Synagogue.
Boston’s public transit system, “the T” includes: subway, trolley, bus, rail and ferry options. A 3 minute walk to the “T stop” allows you to quickly get anywhere in the city, while saving you the cost of staying at a downtown hotel. If you rent a car or use Uber, it’s a 1.5-mile drive to the Mass Pike (I-90) that gets you to downtown Boston in 15 minutes and then anywhere else in New England.

The house was 160 years old but in good shape! The host was very responsive with any questions! You could walk to a lot of places from the house!

Convenient
This house was close to catching the public transportation. It was in a quiet neighborhood and had enough bedrooms for all of us to sleep. It was clean and the communication with the manager was wonderful.

Wonderful Memories
Stayed in this property during a five day vacation with three generations. We all loved the location and space the property had. Communication with the owner/manager was seamless. Will certainly look into staying at the property next time we are in Boston.

Very clean and lots of space
We stayed in this upper unit when were in town for a family wedding and some sightseeing. It's a great location with nearby shops and a short drive to downtown. It was so nice to have room to park 3 cars in the side yard area and to have a private patio to relax. The bedrooms and other rooms are as advertised. Be sure to note that the basement laundry/game room with a sofa bed is a shared common area. The kitchen is updated with granite and had extra cabinet space and many supplies. The space is very clean, but a little worn as expected in a very old home. Their emailed brochure is a little outdated, so contact them with any detailed questions and they quickly respond. We would stay here again next time we have a family group visit to Boston!

Amazing historic house in a great location
I loved the house and everything about it. The house is very roomy and accommodates. So many was great for my big extended family. The large table and the beautiful China settings were great for our little dinner party. The house has a lot of character in the neighborhood is very walkable and pleasant. Easy walk to a number of restaurants and cafes and little stores. Easy drive to places like the museums and the airport. The stairs can be a little challenging for older folks and neewly walking kids. The communication with hosts was great and while there were almost no problems but there was was resolved immediately.
