CHARLES RIVER WATERFRONT! Have you ever dreamed of living on the banks of the Charles River? Kayak, canoe, paddleboard or fish right from your own backyard! Set on 1.25 acres of picturesque, pastoral land, this historic residence offers a rare combination of waterfront living, architectural character and extraordinary potential. Rich in period detail, the home features wide-plank wood floors, original wainscoting and six wood-burning fireplaces. The gourmet kitchen includes a walk-in refrigerator and premium Viking and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Ideal for multigenerational living, the home offers four second-floor bedrooms, two staircases, second-floor laundry and an elevator serving the driveway, first and second floors. A flagstone terrace overlooks the expansive grounds and scenic Charles River. Additional amenities include a detached four-car garage and a separate, air-conditioned 840 SF artist's studio with kitchen and full bath. Convenient to St. Sebastian's School and Noble and Greenough School. HISTORIC DISTRICT: Located within the newly established 178 South Street Local Historic District, which protects the front and two side elevations of the original residence.
