Looking for more than a boring, all white, stainless, granite E. Boston condo? Check out this stunning renovated 3 BR Harborview Victorian single fam on spacious corner lot, lovingly restored by designer owner, w/oodles of charm, water & city views. Just a stone's throw from Constitution Beach and the East Boston Greenway, it features a totally renovated island kitchen w/pantry, formal dining, separate office, spacious living room w/wood burning fireplace. Gutted to the studs, it has all new electrical, plumbing, appliances, but so much original charm & detail remains -- fireplace mantel, original moldings, ornate radiators, staircase w/original newell post, hardwood flooring. This house has the best of both worlds, combining a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood with big city convenience. Large fenced-in yard great for planting, partying, play, & as needed, off-street parking. Between Wood Island & Orient Heights, so downtown commute is a breeze! Featured in Boston Globe Mag 2019
