A neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Roslindale is located just 6 miles south/southwest of downtown Boston, adjacent to Jamaica Plain.
If you're looking for a home with the best of everything, you've found it, here, at 41 Congreve Street in Roslindale. A short stroll to the eclectic and welcoming shops, parks and restaurants of Roslindale Village, coupled with the quick commuter rail service to downtown Boston makes Roslindale the ideal Boston neighborhood in which to live. Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum, the oldest public Arboretum in North America, is also just a few minutes away -- 265 acres of trees, shrubs, streams and walking paths where friends meet, dogs frolic, and urban dwellers can enjoy nature every day of the year.
Congreve is a peaceful, tree-lined street with residents whose pride of ownership shows in practically every home.
This two-bedroom unit, fully rehabbed in 2002, is on the second floor of a Victorian Painted Lady. The original oak doors and stairway lead to a generous entry foyer. Inside, the living room is graced with a stained glass piano window, pocket doors, and bay windows. The floors are well-cared for and the rooms are painted in contemporary tones that will suit any decor.
The formal dining room has a sunny bay window and plenty of space for a seating area. The pocket doors allow it to become a private room for overnight guests with access to the kitchen and large laundry room that includes a pantry, refrigerator and full-sized washer and dryer, not to mention a little privacy for the chef!
Off the kitchen, enjoy the view of a well-cared for back yard from this generous back deck with vaulted ceiling and treetop serenity. The birdsong will help relax you after a hard day at the office or taking care of the kids. Commonly owned and landscaped by the residents of 41 Congreve, the yard includes well-tended perennial beds and lush green grass for everyone's enjoyment.
The master bedroom is as spacious and welcoming as the rest of this property. With a double closet and windows on the north and west-facing walls, this space is restful, attractive and the perfect retreat.
A large and sunny bath is located off the central hall. The original deep soaking tub, quarry tile floor and updated porcelain fixtures create a fun and functional space. Get out the bubble bath!
This bedroom has the uncommon touch of a double-wide entrance which makes the room suitable for guest room, office, workout space or all three!
Uncommon in any condominium building, each of the three owners has an unobstructed parking spot in the expanded driveway, as well as unlimited on-street parking for second vehicles and guests. No city restrictions or sticker required.
