1551 Leverette

Built as a two-room Victorian in 1855, this expanded three-bedroom beauty sits on the prettiest street in Corktown, presiding over incredible, mature gardens in front and back. Inside, historic and interesting detail abounds: hardwood floors; original molding and trim; gorgeous stained glass windows; bay windows; and an original gas light fixture that has been converted to electric. A bright and airy living room opens to a formal dining area and a light-flooded, spacious kitchen, which provides beautiful cabinets, ample storage, and space for entertaining. With numerous skylights and an abundance of natural light, the second floor provides three generously-sized bedrooms and a lovely bathroom with clawfoot soaking tub and walk-in shower. The Japanese-inspired garden in the magical backyard includes a Koi pond, fountain and a mature perennial garden with plenty of evergreens. Highly walkable, prime Corktown location.
