Large Victorian Home In Historic Neighborhood

The magnificent 1885 House was designed by Allen & Kenway (architects of several Beacon Hill stone townhouses), and is located in Dorchester's bucolic Carruth neighborhood, 2 blocks from the Ashmont Red Line T. This Queen Anne Victorian was built in the Romanesque style of massive, rusticated stone, brick and wood shingle and has been faithfully and impeccably restored. A grand living hall features extensive quarter-sawn oak architectural detail, stained glass, and monumental fireplace, but this is just the beginning the adventure of exploring this lovely house. Light streams through numerous oversize and stained glass windows into formal living, dining, entertainment and billiards rooms, a large master with its own tree-top porch, a commodious marble bath, plus an expansive open floor plan kitchen/family room. There are five fireplaces each with a distinctive mantel and an octagonal porch for afternoon tea. Total square footage in the living space is ~4,800. A fenced yard, a stone ground level patio with firepit, and a massive unfinished basement are bonuses.
