Historic 307-year-old home, newly and lovingly-refurbished. Spacious open-plan and sunny living area. Large bedroom. Light-filled office that opens to secluded patio and beautiful garden. Perfect writers' retreat; in the 1850s, this was home to William Ticknor, publisher of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and founder of The Atlantic Magazine. Steps to restaurants & cafes of Centre St., to urban oases of Arboretum & Pond, bus to Longwood and 10 min walk to T. First floor, ADA accessible bathroom. We love our neighborhood. Filled with history, the energy of new cafes and restaurants, and urban nature at its best. We are in view of the Eliot School, which has art classes for kids and adults alike. Around the corner is the Footlight Club, the longest-running community theater in the US. Less than a ten minute walk to the Arnold Arboretum and Jamaica Pond, perfect for walks, bike rides, and nature exploration. Free on-street parking and free public lot less than one block away. The 39 bus to Longwood is at the end of the street, and the Orange Line T is less than a ten minute walk away. BlueBikes (shared bikes) and Zipcar/ Good2Go spaces are also at the end of the street.
